To some, the title of this post may seem offensive, as they might see something incestuous in the phrase pairing sister and bride. I however do not. Infact, the phrase is drawn from that great song about love from the Bible:
Song of Solomon 4:10 (NIV) "How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!"
I think it fits together perfectly. My wife is of course my cherished bride, a tremendous blessing bestowed to my care by the Lord himself. But she is also my sister in Christ. A fellow believer, a fellow worker with me in the Kingdom and that I also cherish as a tremendous blessing. So my wife certainly is my love, my sister, my bride!
Today, I ask that you all keep her in your prayers as she undergoes some medical testing and diagnosis. That God may guide the medical care givers and lay His healing hand upon her, if it be His will. I love you sweetie, everyday and always and always until we stand before the throne, no longer as husband and wife, but as fellow worshipers singing praises to him who sits on the throne and the lamb, forever and ever.
