Marriage

---

God spoke His wisdom to me, as He often does, while doing a very "normal" activity - cleaning out the fireplace. Under all the ash of a fire seemingly burned out and cold, I found a hot and glowing ember. There is hope for what appears to be a lost love.

BURNING EMBER

There is no love truly lost
It grows
It changes
It gets misplaced

The flame of new love burns ferocious
Life is Love
It simply engulfs us
We cannot see beyond the flame

The ash begins to fall
As a blanket of snow
Insulates the earth below
No longer engulfed in flame
Life has settled in

Who are you?
Who am I?
And where is our love
From a time gone by?

The ash is thick and piled high
Have our hearts grown cold?
Please, draw me nigh

I pray, oh mighty winds of grace
Blow through our lives
And clear the ash
Uncover for us
The ember of our first love burning

Well kept within the ash
Ready to ignite anew
Our love from once-upon-a-time
Will surely see us through

Love is Life
The Truth
The Way
May we ne’er again become dismayed
