Joseph

 Joseph

"Love is something different from a delirium; but it's hard to tell the difference." 

-anonymous

My friends a few years back can testify that being in love with Joseph then was delirious, not because I was extremely, madly in love. But because my friends was actually thinking that I was in complete hallucination in finding him attractive, handsome and just nearly perfect.

I love the way my husband makes me laugh. I laugh at his corny jokes, and most especially when he sings. It tickles me.  Joseph is uniquely thoughtful; he would make paper roses, write a love letter in a tissue paper and many more of those kind of things.  He likes surprising me which I really hate. And yet, I love him for doing it.  We laugh a lot, talk a lot, we cry, we argue. I thank God that He has given me the privilege to love and be in love with Joseph. Looking back, there was no way in my dreams of marrying him, but God brought us together.

I love him for just the way God created him. And I love him more everyday. I'm so excited for the days ahead of us. As God leads we follow. There's a lot of things to look forward to.  A lot of work to do for Him.  A lot of blessings to receive.  A lot of happier days!

Hold Thou Thy cross between us, blessed Lord.

Let us love Thee.  To us Thy power afford

To remain prostrate at Thy pierce'd feet -

There is no other place where we may meet.

Set Thou our faces as a flint of stone

To do Thy will.  Our goal be this alone.

O God, our hearts are fixed. Let us not turn.

Consume all our affections, let Thy love burn.

poem from Elisabeth Elliot's Passion and Purity
