I don't feel like blogging. But...I need to. Perhaps as a diversion; who knows why. I rarely speak of bigger issues on my blog. I'm content to read those who are brighter and more articulate than I. But today, in the midst of all my other issues, I happened to glance upon this photo. Isn't this just an exquisite photo? I don't know lots of things. But there are a few things I do know. And one of them is this:
I cannot judge what others do; and I fail, but try hard not to calculate the measure of another human based on circumstance that I may not understand. So, I often am unable to know the measure of a man, or a woman. But I do believe that I know some gifts that make a man, or a woman more trusthworthy, more honorable, more deserving of my belief.
The man who loves, respects and honors his wife is far more likely to respect and honor his commitments to others. We speak of fidelity as though it only pertains to marriage, but the one who understands fidelity is likely to be faithful to his friends, his colleges, his job, his community and even his country.
Does this man adore his wife? Oh! To me it just swirls all around them in each photo that I see of them together. There is respect and love, commitment, honor and faithfulness. And today, for one reason or another, it makes me very happy. I am happy not just that we have such a man, with the support and love of his life partner to lead us, but that such a marriage is possible - amidst what must be greater challenge than most of us will know. Is that inspiring or what?
And now, back to our regularly scheduled programming, which means that I'm still on haitus.
Enjoy a wonderful weekend everyone!
