"My beloved is mine and I am his.."

Wow!Yesterday I had the amazing privilege to see one of my best friends from high school tie the knot with the love of her life.Who knew this time last year that she would be engaged and married now?!It was a beautiful wedding, and I am so glad I could be there for it.I love you, Mel!

"My true love hath my heart and I have his,

By just exchange one for the other given:

I hold his dear,and mine he cannot miss;

There never was a bargain better driven.

His heart in me keeps me and him in one;

My heart in him his thoughts and senses guides:

He loves my heart,for once it was his own;

I cherish his because in me it bides.

His heart his wound received from my sight;

My heart was wounded with his wounded heart;

For as from me on him his hurt did light,

So still,methought,in me his hurt did smart:

Both equal hurt,in this change sought our bliss,

My true love hath my heart and I have his."

-Sir Philip Sidney

"Beloved,let us love one another,for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.In this the love of God was manifested toward us,that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world,that we might live through Him.In this is love,not that we loved God,but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atonement for our sins.Beloved,if God so loved us,we also ought to love one another."

1 John 4:7-11

"Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is as strong as death, jealousy is as fierce as the grave.Its flashes are flashes of fire,the very flame of the Lord."

Song of Solomon 8:6

"I'm missing you so much, I'll say you died tonight,

Just so I can get to you before the sun will rise.

I know these times are hard and I feel this too.

None of that ever seems to matter when I'm holding you.

And I'm wasting away,away from you.

And I'm wasting away,away from you.

What have I gotten into this time around?

I know that I had sworn I'd never trust

Anyone again but I didn't have to.

You had me at hello.

I've never seen a smile that can light the room like yours.

It's simply radiant,I see it more with every day that goes by.

I watch the clock to make the timing just right.

Would it be okay if I took your breath away?

And I'm wasting away,away from you.

And I'm wasting away,away from you.

What have I gotten into this time around?

I know that I had sworn I'd never trust

Anyone again but I didn't have to.

You had me at hello.

You gave me butterflies at the mailbox.

What have I hotten into this time around?

I know that I had sworn I'd never trust

Anyone again but I didn't have to.

You had me at hello."
