The Marriage Covenant



The other day as I was reading the book of Genesis, I found something that I had never noticed before.

Genesis 1:4, “And God saw the light, that it was good.” Genesis 1:10, “And God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:12, “And God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:18, “And God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:21, “And God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:25, And God saw that it was good.” Genesis 1:31, “Then God saw everything that…

My father loved roses. He planted them in the backyard of the home we just left. He cultivated them, fertilized them, fenced them and watched them bloom. He had purple roses with yellow centers, red roses with white centers, white roses, pink roses and yellow roses with a beautiful orange center.

This afternoon, I would like to share with you an old writing I found within my own father’s papers as we were cleaning out the house. I had never seen this or heard of it before and my mother did not recall it either. It was typed with an obvious manual typewriter and the paper had yellowed.
