Do not lag in zeal, be ardent in spirit, serve the Lord.
In just a short time, they asked the minister to come over for a house wedding. The wedding went
without a hitch, until he asked the bride, "And do you promise to love, honor, and obey him, until
death do you part?" She puckered up her face for a minute, and then she said, "Love and honor,
yes! Obey, no!" The groom looked at his little bride and looked at the minister. Then he said, "Oh,
well, I guess two out of three isn't bad!" So they got married! And he gave her all the freedom she
wanted! And they lived happily ever after!
God has given us a lot of freedom. All God wants from us is to love and honor Him.
(Romans 12:11
NRSV)
A man in Alberta, Canada, delights in telling the story of his older brother's second wedding. The
man's wife had died suddenly when they were both in their middle years. But then came a widow
to the community feisty and free-spirited.
Lord Jesus, you have shown me the way to love and honor God. May I follow your way.
Amen.
