Sally, oh how I wish that I could give you that
big hug, a good ear to listen to your feelings and the reassurance that you need
right now. Of course you are afraid when your husband is struggling.
I have come to learn so much of what love for a married couple should be from
meeting Marty and Barb and you and Charlie. So I can feel that when your
soulmate is hurting, it is hurting your soul.
Do you have a good book to curl up with, or a good
meditation to totally get lost in? Sally, I have asked some Christian
friends and relatives of mine to pray for Charlie and Lillian tonight....and I
know they are good prayer warriors and will... Know too, that I will be
praying for you that God will show you how to get the sleep that you need to
refresh your mind and your body, so that tomorrow will be easier for you to get
through... I was looking at a book of Helen Steiner Rice and I thought I
would send this to you... God Bless you and I love you friend.... I
will be praying for Charlie and for you tonight of course and tomorrow....
Love, Carla
To Honor and to Cherish, by Helen
Steiner Rice
What is a
Marriage?
Marriage is the
union
of two people in
love,
And love is sheer
magic,
for it's woven
of
Gossamer
dreams,
enchantingly
real,
That people in
love
are
privilegedto
feel----
But the "exquisite
ecstasy"
that captures
the heart
Of two people in
love
is just a small
part
Of the beauty and
wonder
and miracle
of
The growth and
fulfillment
and evolvement
of love---
For only long
years
of living
together
And sharing and
caring
in all kinds of
weather
Both pleasure and
pain,
the glad and the
sad,
Teardrops and
laughter,
the good and the
bad,
Can add new
dimensions
and lift love
above
The rapturous
ecstasies
of "falling
in love"---
For ecstasy
passes
but it is
replaced
By something much
greater
That cannot be
defaced,
For what was"in
part"
has now
"become whole"---
For on the "wings of the
flesh,"
love entered the
"soul"!
Sleep now my friend and count your blessings... Tonight you can
rejoice for all the wonderful things that have been given to you and thank God
for those. He will not abandon you, He is there.
