My First Real Love Letter...
I have been blessed to be in well enough health and mind to read the beautiful missive you sent to me this morning. I could feel the warmth of your smile and the brilliance behind those eyes I love so much, imbedded in every word as I, smiling, was so touched by your sincerity and affection. So...I must respond in kind.
I write these words from the depths of a heart so moved to do so without preamble or ill-content. But to the contrary with such love and affection that God himself has given me what to say as, this vessel filled, now empties for you. And you, alone.
I am laid bare and humble before you. The only warmth and security are from the true and real love radiating from me-to-you. And from-you-to-me.
There is noone around us nor is there anyone in our world but the you and me that we so chastly and yet longingly look upon with new, fascinating, and above all, loving eyes.
I drink you in each day as one who is a connossuer of great beauty. Your inner glow is tasteful and it glows as if it is imbued with a life and light all its own. I swirl that beauty around in the light of my mind and take in the pallete of your spiritual bouquet. SO soft and wonderfully everlasting that each note and subtle nuance of your flavor is etched into my overwhelmed and inadequately prepared mind. This is but the tip of my feelings for you that I now speak freely and from a heart that takes the chance that only real love brings. That being the opportunity to be heard clearly and with resonating clarity for eternity.
I declare that I am yours, if you would have me. And I humbly submit my heart to yours (as God has entreated us to "...likewise, husbands, submit to your wives". So that we may be made one and on one accord in our life and in our house. In this way he is exalted and uplifted to the highest heights. And we are his vision made manifest and alive in the truth of his light and wisdom not only for the world to see, but see his prophecies fulfilled and made real each day that we are living under his wing, within the shadow of his wisdom, covered by his blood, in abundant life and bounty by his largesse, and in peace, and harmony, and happiness as we've never known because of His love.
He stood at the door and knocked.
We are made whole and are joyous and happy in the wonder of his light because we were true to our covenant with him and simply let him in.
I am yours and you are mine and we are his because he first loved us. My prayer is that it will always be you and I within the busom of his love and longsuffering. And may we endure as he endures...forever.
Amen.
Joe,
That was indeed a beautiful testiment to an exceptional man who has been profoundly blessed and gifted by GOD!! "To take a pen in hand and write down in words" that so eloquently express what the souls eternal search is for...LOVE. So often in this life we become superficial in the love we seek, we look for the exterior beauty...that stirs our body , our passions. And forget to look for the heart, mind, spirit, and soul...that will not only fulfill our passions but will seek to enhance them. The love that is beside you in the quiet times of life's ups and downs...a priceless gift from GOD!!
May GOD bless you and the new love who has so inspired such a depth of spiritual searching and such a beautiful love letter.... may the love you have found be everlasting...she is a very lucky woman!!

Joe,
I've been enjoying these little pieces of dark chocolate, and this one touched me so deeply, it was like being stopped dead in my tracks. I have always been the kind of girl who believed in fairy tales, and I could imagine in my heart's eye the man of my dreams, my very own Prince Charming, saying these words to me, without speaking a word. He would say these things to me through his touch, his kiss, a glance, a gesture, but the full message would be received. It was amazing to see all of these feelings put into words so beautifully. Thank you.
