Five Minute Friday: Sheer Delight


We went to go see The Vow for Valentine's Day, my love and I.
It was beautiful, magical, enchanting, even.
I was mesmerized by the level of commitment in their love.

For a week ahead of time, we both could not seem to get Taylor Swift's words "...I was enchanted to meet you..." out of our heads. I would sing it lots. He would ask to hear the song again or maybe quote a line to me. I told him the story behind the song. He listened to the guy's reply back to Taylor, thanking her for the song, telling her he was "...enchanted to me her tooooo..."

What can I say?

We are both a bit romantic at heart? We love a love story.
A silly young romantic connection.
A heartfelt life-long commitment in spite of impossible circumstances.
No matter the story.

The delight.
The wonder.
The enchantment.
In this thing called Love.

Ann said it this week...a thing of amazement...as the Bible says...the way of a man with his maiden.

Sheer delight.



Sooooo today was more like a {6-minute} Friday as I longed to "try" to capture my heart's song in just a few late night minutes. Scary magic. Wondrous trepidation. Heart-stopping intrigue. Excruciating heart break. Perfect harmony of the soul.

Oh love...what can one truly say about that illusive thing.....??

{Sigh}

Okay....so hook me up with your 5 minutes? Even if you do not have a blog, try it in the comments below. I promise you. It is scary FUN, emphasis on fun, fun, fun.

Happy Weekending!

Thanks for showing the delight and bliss that can & does exist in marriage today.  With too many false ideas being vocalize, marriage almost seems like a mockery these days.  But that's not God's intention.  Keep enjoying each other :)
