A story about "What Christ in a marriage can do through real intimacy."
"And they shall become one flesh"..........
Yesterday Elise A. Cavasin and I finished up a particularly grueling stint on the retaining wall project and were both exhausted beyond words. As we looked for a way to relax a cold drink and pool side chair came to mind. Elise set up the chairs and I readied the beverages. Soon we were pool side cooling down and chatting about what we could do next. We fell upon the idea of pulling back the pool cover and taking a dip to assuage our tired bodies, maybe a few laps or just some float time. We chose both and soon we were chasing each end of the pool then floating in the sun talking about how blessed we have been and the many Divine interventions we have had in our lives especially the past few years. The hour and a half soon past and we needed some nourishment so dinner was next at hand.
Having prepared some salad and left overs we held hands and bowed to "pray a blessing on the fare."
That's when the beginning of this post became "a Divine Intervention."
We had just finished talking about all the blessings we have received and I started offering the blessing prayer for the food and "it happened."
I started out praising God and Thanking Him for His immeasurable blessings, Elise joined in and soon we were overcome by "His presence." As prayer was to be made "in the name of Jesus" I began to weep in my spirit "praying quietly to God in the Holy Ghost", words not being found to speak and express the gratitude we had in our hearts for all His goodness to us. As the verbal pause became longer Elise took over and started to pray and finished the prayer, "help meet" becomes comforter, man and woman become one in the flesh and in the spirit, prayer offered completed by both husband, wife and Holy Spirit, Gods perfect design blessed beyond measure, completed in prayer, "God in us the hope of Glory."
I truly believe that this was God's intentioned plan for man and woman in the union of marriage made complete in Him.
This "Divine intervention" was no less powerful than the most beautiful of all the miracles that we have seen to date.
Where God is there is Love, Joy and Peace in the Holy Spirit, whether at service, in your prayer closet, blessing a meal, or any time He meets you where you are.
Have a blessed day.
Love
