HE LIGHTS UP MY LIFE
Today's reading: Psalm 18-20

It's that time of the year again...

Time to dust off the VCR tape and slip it into the aged player. We'll spend time on the couch watching our wedding video. We'll lament over how young we looked and how many of the folks in the 'movie' are no longer with us. We'll laugh at how big my hair was and how small my wedding dress appeared to be compared to the dresses I wear today.

Then, we'll listen to the part where my aunt and uncle sing our song--You Light Up My Life. A song particularly selected to convey our deep love for each other.

We thought we had it all figured out those almost twenty-one years ago. Or, at least I did.

Dale continues to be my knight in shining armor. He has never failed to be loving, kind, honorable and faithful. He took the verses from 1 Corinthians seriously when it told him not to 'keep track of wrongs', because he'd have had plenty to remember! He still makes my eyes sparkle when he walks into a room.

Dale, after all this time, is wonderful--even more wonderful now than then--but I've come to the decision that the 'light of my life' is God!

Dale's not jealous. Dale understands. Dale would agree. To tell you the truth, Dale is relieved--it takes a lot of the pressure off him!

"Lord, you have brought light to my life; my God, you light up my darkness." Psalm 18:28 NLT
