No greater love ...

Just returned from a wonderful thanksgiving service for a man I never knew. I knew of this man through meeting his wife, and hearing from others of her wonderful care and attention to him, especially in the last of their 60+ years together. Afterwards I got talking with another wonderful man who told me about the love of his life for 55 years. He still mises her eleven years after her death. He delighted in telling me how they met and their life together. He had the firmest handshake I've experienced for a long time. I am so blessed to have heard these stories of lifetimes of love and commitment. Tears are not far away. As I give thanks for these two examples of great love lived well. Thanks be to God.
