Love


 


Lila and Al were married for 63 years.  


And lived and loved life together to the fullest.


A few weeks ago as the girls sat around her bed and listened to stories, Lila told them she and Al only had one argument- THE BOAT.


And since there never was a boat we know who won that one!


They treated each other with complete respect and love.


Life, like it does for us all, deviated from their plans but they met each challenge together and with God as their guide. 


Each anniversary Al gave her roses.  One white one for the year they married and a red for each year since.  


So today at her viewing, her roses were on display. And the joy they must be having together is fully appreciated.  


Ephesians 5 admonishes husbands to love even as Christ.  


They both took that commandment and covenant seriously.  And lived it each and every day. 


And so like the rose bouquets, their love flourished and bloomed bringing joy to all who knew them.
