Boanerges

I would like to share a story I heard the other day-
There was a newlywed couple who had moved into their first home. Things seemed to go well at first but soon problems arouse. The husband was very strict and everyday would right out a list and demand it be completed to perfection. If even the slightest part wasn't accomplished there was going to be hell to pay and it seemed no matter how hard she tried the little bride could never quite live up to her husbands expectations.
One morning the little bride received bad news her husband had died. After years of morning our little bride met another man. They quickly fell in love and were married. Her new husband loved her dearly, praising her and encouraging her at every possible chance. One day while he was at work and she was cleaning house she found a piece of paper buried between the sofa cushion. It was the list her old husband had made for her. Upon reading it she begin to cry tears of joy- you see she was already doing all the things on the list, she wasn't being forced but was doing all these things out of love for her husband.

Amen brother - thank you for sharing.

Nice adaptation of Romans 7

Though, slight variation on the list part. The husband didn't give his wife the list because he was strict, but because he loved the wife. The parable should go more along the lines of the righteous husband, and the former prostitute wife. The husband leads his new wife into truth and righteousness so that she may be kept safe and prospered, not because he wishes to beat her to death with demands.

Good story though.

Amen Boanerges, love will never fail. It's in the Bible. God said it.
