Contendah, my Friend,
CONGRATULATIONS! It blesses me that your marriage is so well grounded. I look forward to fellowship with both of you in heaven.
My wife and I have only made it 37 years and counting. But, the beauty of our marriage, like I am sure is true of your marriage -- is that it will live eternally.
When Dory and I were dating, as we were driving she would sing to me. At that time she was singing at a number of different functions and celebrations in Southern California -- once sang at a Century Plaza Hotel reception for the governor.
Anyway, during our dating years -- she always sang to me. One song I always loved was the Barbra Streisand song "The Way We Were":
Mem'ries, Light the corners of my mind, Misty water-colored memories, Of the way we were Scattered pictures, Of the smiles we left behind, Smiles we gave to one another, For the way we were. Can it be that it was all so simple then? Or has time re-written every line? If we had the chance to do it all again, Tell me, would we? Could we? Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet, What's too painful to remember, We simply choose to forget. So it's the laughter We will remember, Whenever we remember... The way we were... The way we were...
Now I tease her that she sang to me to catch me -- and then the music stopped! But, that is not really true. Our music will never stop -- for it is grounded in God's Word.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
