Marriage
I imagined seeing a recipe,
writing all the ingredients down,
so I would remember to buy them all,
the next time I went into town.
To the store and back, so excited,
I didn't even put them all away,
I wanted to try to make this thing
to enjoy this very day.
I gathered together everything I would need
mixing them all up in a bowl
and put it in the oven to bake,
would this recipe satisfy my soul?
Oh my, it did not, the taste was flat,
whatever could it be?
I had missed the most important part
even though it was one I didn't see.
It made me think of how my life was
before Jesus ruled in my heart,
and every thing I'd try to do,
would not get done, it would fall apart.
Then I met the One who had the solution,
He not only had the right recipe;
He was the one and only ingredient,
who could make a masterpiece out of me.
And that He did, the day I said 'yes'
but, oh He had so much more,
He poured out blessing after blessing,
til I thought there could not be more.
Then he brought me to a new place,
my life would have a start brand new,
for now I was ready for the desire of my heart,
for that day I was brought to you!
What joy there is when I trust in God,
to wait patiently for what He will do,
and He gave me the best gift in all the world
the day that He gave me you!
Now each day's a new recipe,
we don't know yet what it will be,
but we know we have the most important ingredient,
by day's end a masterpiece it will be.
Sifting together love and joy,
Happiness added, along with heaven's dew
and all day long it is baked to perfection,
sweet taste of how much I LOVE YOU!

I had to stop and reflect with a smile as I read this. I went last week to the grocery store to get the remaining ingredients needed for a recipe I found. I've had the same can of beets in my pantry for a very long time. I doubted my son would eat them and I tire of them too quickly not to waste almost the whole can. So I found a recipe to dress them up with lemon juice, pineapple chunks, etc... sure that my son will enjoy them that way. Here it is, over a week later, and I still haven't put the recipe together. Perhaps I was waiting for today... so that I'd be sure and include the most important ingredient... the love of God in my heart for my son as I cook. :::smile:::
