When Prince Harry marries tm'w, his new wife immediately becomes a Princess.
But when I married MY bride three weeks ago, it's because she was ALREADY a Princess!! I'm a VERY happy man right now (back from our Honeymoon...see last post), and we had a GREAT Honeymoon!! But something happened on it which, while a bit sad, was also a great "Reality Reminder" in the midst of our incredible joy.
Two of my friends, VICKI and BOB (shown with his wife Dottie) passed away.
Both were happily married for over 40 years, both were Christians and both are in Heaven now with the Lord Jesus Christ, their Savior.
Both died between the period of my Wedding and Honeymoon.
And it's a reminder that LIFE IS SHORT and MARRIAGE IS TEMPORARY because there is no marriage in Heaven, according to Scripture.
See, we Christians pledge to each other that we will love one another "till death do us part"...and God willing, we WILL...but the reality is that death DOES part even the HAPPIEST of couples one day.
The Lesson?? LOVE YOUR SPOUSE WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART EACH DAY. None of us knows how much longer we'll have that privilege!!
Sorry to hear about your friends but this is a great post.
