Love, Joy and Peace with my wife.

From the heart for my wife Elise A. Cavasin!
The visage of my wife has always been a great place to "rest my eyes". Lovely, peaceful, inviting. But I noticed that she always seems to be exceedingly radiant when our children and grandchildren are around. It reflects that inner joy that comes from being the loving Mother, dedicated to serving her family whenever she has the chance to. She always "melts" into that glow in their presence, and it's always a little dimmer when they leave. Everyday as I count my blessings "I count her twice". She has added a deeper degree of Love, Joy, and Peace to my life more than I have ever known. What's remarkable about this is the fact that it is a daily growth, consistent over the decades we have shared and extending into the future till death do us part. It's easy to wake up joyful and thankful every morning when I look to my left and see her rousing. her smile says it all.
Learning about love with her as my partner/teacher has been my best class in the school of life. I await each new dawning of the day to see what will be that days instructions. How by her thoughts, words and actions she will inspire me. After 47 yrs of marriage we still never fail to rally to "conversation" for hours every morning as we make time "for each other." When we are near to each other my heart overflows with love and appreciation. When we are apart I count the minutes till we are again in one another's presence.
Aside from Jesus Christ there has been no single life event that has had a greater impact on me then the day we said "I do." She didn't have to "change or adjust" for me. All I ever wanted for her was to "be herself" and share her zeal for life with me. She was what I was missing in my heart and adding her to my life completed me. Neither of us had to change because Love filled in the differences to make us both whole.
She is the most precious gift that God has given to me aside from Jesus Christ. She is more important to me than wealth, health, the ownership of things, and anything that this world can bring to me.
She is "priceless" to my heart and soul.
I honor her body, soul, and heart.
This is what I believe to be a reflection of a Biblical marriage in the working. A goal to be worked toward. And an unending effort to be made......."till death do us part."
God bless and keep.
Love
