I was reading a local showbiz magazine that featured a wedding of a celebrity couple (Jolina Magdangal and Mark Escueta). It was a lovely bohemian-themed garden wedding which has all the nice and romantic touches! But what struck me more was what the Pastor advised the couple about Commitment to love. He used the following passage from the New International Version Bible (1 Corinthians 13, Verses 4-8):
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Loves does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes and always persevers. Love never fails.
And he said to change the word Love and put the name of the groom instead.
And he is absolutley right! It does make a difference, it sounds nicer (and more personal)!
The next time Zola's Dad and I have our misunderstanding, I will keep this in mind.
"James is patient, James is kind. James does not envy. . .he is not proud . . . James is not easily angered, James keeps no record of wrongs . . . ."
And I will go back to that special day in February when it all started . . . .
