Today's poem lauds their Ruby Anniversary & Valentine's Day as well...
A THREE-STRAND CORD
Genesis 2:18;
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
Alone
is not good, is what we read
in
Scripture. A helpmeet fills the need.
A
hard task for one’s easy for two;
two
can’t be lonely; have nothing to do.
The
Bible says two’s better than one.
It’s
certainly true, two have more fun!
A
buddy’s nice inside a shelter;
an
asset when one needs a helper.
Two’s
better than one in a wintry bed;
those
icy percales, they hold no dread.
Now
listen to this; this is the key…
God
says even better than two…is three!
Not
easily severed, a three-strand cord;
I’m
one, you’re two, the third is Our Lord.
Three’s
better than two in time of prayer;
when
you and I pray, God is right there!
Three’s
better than two through joy or pain;
God’s
with us in sunshine, with us in rain.
We
are entwined…you, me and Our Lord,
tightly
united in His Good Word.
Two’s
better than one, but three is best!
Three
makes matrimony…Heaven-blessed!
