Sweetness

Every time they are together it puts a smile on my face. Whether it is how her face lights up as she talks about her beloved husband or the way he calls her “sweetness” -- it is obvious that they have a deep love for one another. A close, intimate friendship not only still exists between Gene and Alice after 31 years of marriage, but it seems to continually grow.

Their affection for one another is contagious. Other couples attempt to emulate what they see and hear. Wives are challenged to speak well of their husbands and husbands to adore their wives. Their relationship demonstrates the power of speaking and displaying selfless love and its positive, far reaching affects.

As I think of Gene and Alice, I am reminded of God’s great love for us. The power of His love is far reaching and affects us all. The many times God touches our lives is sweeter than anything. We cannot keep from speaking about Him. As we do, it brings joy to our lives … and transformation to others.
