Mixed Marriage

Mixed Marriage By Franklin Price 03/01/2022 She was Catholic, I a Baptist, when we met and fell in love. Jesus Christ was watching, from his vantage point above He knew we both believed in him, believed he saved us from our sin, That he died upon the cross for us, it was the best place to begin. We both had Christian morals, though we'd slipped a time or two He whispered softly, in our ears, “This is the only one for you” We both had been in marriages, that were less than blessed by God. Knowing we were soul mates, he gave our wedding vows the nod. The Holy Spirit, chimed right in, “I'll help you out along along the way” The Father, Son and Holy Ghost, all shook our hands that day. More than fifty years have gone. My true love has passed along Neither one of us converted, to sing the other's Christian song. She's still Catholic, I a Baptist, we did not risk our Christian love She and Jesus Christ are watching, from their vantage point above. If there's a lesson to be learned here, it's that true love conquers all We will be together, once again, Christ already made that call.

A wonderful write! It is in the believing and confessing of Jesus Christ…it is in the living out each day for him…so glad you are (were) both believers and thus know your destination for hope sets its eyes on heavenly things! God bless!
