Love Birds

“Enjoy life with your beloved wife all the days of the fleeting life that God has given you under the sun—all your fleeting days. For this is your portion in life and in your labor under the sun.” Ecclesiastes 9:9 Berean Study Bible

When Rich and I were dating we exchanged love letters via mail since long distance phone bills were a thing back then. In one of the letters I wrote “When we get married, we need to get a couch and a big TV. So we can talk through the commercials and kiss through the show.” Young love… ☺️ It turns out we have two recliners that sit side by side. Most evenings you will find us there.

I went out to have my time with Jesus this morning and these two doves sat there on my roof, for the longest time, just hanging out. It made me think of us.

Time has flown by. It was 32 years ago that I made the suggestion for our couch and TV in that letter I sent. Solomon was right when he wrote that life was “fleeting”. Time has went by fast.

There are times I don’t show how much I appreciate just hanging out like these two Doves/ lovebirds did this morning. But I truly do.

Rich and I had a whirlwind romance that was mainly in the summer of 92 or as we like to call it our “Summer of Love”. It was one of the happiest times of all. But I’m thankful for the 32 years of a “Life of Love” that we have had hanging out “Enjoying life” together. God has given us a very good “portion in life”.
Love you Baby! 😘
