Recently I was at the house of the older couple. I mean like old like 50 or 60 old. So anyways I was at there house and they are the sweetest couple I ever met not only did they look like they were in love but their love for God was still going strong.
He would still do little stuff for her around the house like clean or cook and she would do the same for him. Now I always saw them, but I just thought they're old and since they're old they were still together, but I was wrong when I went to their house it was completely different they were still laughing together, having conversations about God, and wherever she was he was and vise versa.
This was amazing to me because for obvious reasons I was raised by my mother only, so to see that kind of love between to people and they were old, it was beautiful. Not to mention their kids who were as loving and kind as their parents. They would sit at the kitchen table and talk and laugh and make fun of each other.
I know to some people your like "so my family does that" but my family didn't me and my brother and sisters did but my mother or father was never there. So you'll probably never understand my view point and how happy I felt to see that there are families still out there who do these kinds of things.
They're never in a rush to do anything and out of their schedules they still have time for their family. To sit down and eat, and to talk. I know God is going to bless that couple not only have they showed me an example of what true love is but they've raised some great children who serve the Lord and walk in His ways I can see God now saying to them "well done thy good and faithful servant."

One night with the king (one of the best movies ever!)
This movie is taken straight from the book of Esther in the Bible (her name means star). It captured not only the love between the king(king Xerexes) and Esther, but courage to stand up for what is right for the persecution of Gods people, even when it might mean losing your own life.
My favorite part in the movie is when Esther goes before the king a second time and they have this conversation filled with meaning and she poured out her heart to him. Now the women who have been coming to him have all been adorned with jewlery I mean ALOT because even if they arent chosen by the king they get to keep it, but Esther who only wore her necklace that her parents gave to her before they died looked very simple, well when it came to the jewlery because her dress was soooo CUTE!
So King Xerexes says to her (paraphrased) "and how come you come with little jewlery do you think that low of yourself?" which makes sense but I think he was just shocked because jewlery didnt appeal to her the kings heart did (which she does say before he proposes!!) But before that Esther says this famous line that I love soo much she takes off her necklace the only remembrance of her parents and the only thing that holds her identity that she's Jewish she holds it out to him and says: "I give you my past, my present and my future" (OMG!!)
Even though King Xerxes took the necklace with no emotion like he didnt care he was kind of in the right seeing that he is a king. And that there were many women seeking to be his bride, but not all were sincere; he was simply gaurding his heart. But eventually at the end of the romantic and oh so lovely conversation he ends up proposing and the wedding was SO BEAUTIFUL!!! not to mention the wedding dress was CUTE!
THIS MOVIE IS A MUST SEE!!!
