SOULMATES

I just spent a weekend with family and witnessed the beauty of young love.  You know what I am talking about.  When your heart skips a beat every time the one you love enters the room.  When no matter how bad they look first thing in the morning, in your eyes they are always beautiful.  When you cannot stand to be apart for any significant length of time.   It really is sappy but most of us have experienced it in the early days of a new romance.

I know all about it.  I used to sing love songs to my husband and he used to buy me flowers so often my friends got jealous.  We are older now but still very much in love.  Nonetheless,  I sing to him less often and he brings me flowers less frequently.  And that's OK!

So what has changed?  Nothing really.  Our relationship has merely matured.  The frills have lessened but the depth of our relationship has increased.  So the love songs and flowers are no longer required in abundance to prove our love for each other.   Our love has already passed the test of time.  

We have always been soulmates but it is deeper now and as a result the romance will never end.  

My husband can still melt my heart but the best thing of all is that he gets me.  He understands me. He knows how I tick.  And I do him.  We can without fear or awkwardness share our innermost feelings.  That makes us soulmates.  That makes our love so much stronger.

Today and every day, I am grateful for my husband.  His humor and wit keep me entertained.  His integrity and loyalty make me proud.  His desire for godliness keeps me humble.  And his love and commitment to me, in spite of myself, never cease to amaze me.  

He is more then I deserve and more then I could have ever dreamed of and I get to call him mine.  He often knows my thoughts before I speak and he understands my heart no matter what emotion it is feeling.  

Sounds sappy right?  Well I love the sap of having a soulmate! 

Give Thanks!
