The music of marriage

I am sitting in his office at the church

just so I can be near him.

It is quiet as he works,

the only sounds coming from the outer office

and my keyboard.

I sneak glances at him often.

My goodness how I love that man!!!

 

I love watching his face.

He is very expressive.

I enjoyed watching him appreciate me this morning

as I brought him coffee.

I enjoyed watching him be entertained by the dog's morning exuberance.

I enjoy watching him laugh at a funny movie or TV show.

But mostly I love watching him worship.

As he sits at his desk preparing his lesson for Sunday,

I see some of the same elements of adoration

that I see on his face as he raises his hands

in praise to our God on Sunday mornings.

I see wonder.

I see thirst for more knowledge.

I see pondering.

I see understanding.

I see a man after God's own heart.

My heart swells with admiration and wonder

at his greatness!

 

I think of the song "Something Good" from "The Sound of Music":

...For here you are standing there loving me
Whether or not you should.
So, somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good.

Nothing comes from nothing,
Nothing ever could.
So, somewhere in my youth or childhood
I must have done something good.

Very fitting lyrics!

Indeed, I must have done something very, very good!

 

How God has blessed me!!!

To have the honor of submission and service to,

respect and admiration of

such a man as this!!!

To be loved and cherished and protected by him

as God instructs.

How God has blessed me!!!

How I love that man!!! 

 

The beautiful music of great love

and joyous marriage...........
