A Love Story

A long time ago two people fell in love although they were only kids. They took marriage vows with hearts full of dreams and who wouldn't at the tender ages of seventeen and nineteen? Many roads were traveled, children were born, health was always a battle to fight for him and then miracles of miracles moved when God came to dwell in this man's heart. Time was of essence for God had called his name, saying "Donnie go forth for Me". There were years of Bible school to attend, churches to serve and ministry to those who had never heard the message.

His last church to serve opened his eyes to where his heart really was. Those who needed to hear were those who did not even know a Savior was sending this man in the ordinary days of lives to hear by his heart. So this became his ministry... to help others, to uplift those downtrodden, to always go the extra mile for his fellow in need and even when all deserted him he stayed true to his faith in God.

The two young people became lovers for life... they grew together and learned the value of each other and how lives are just a mist in this place we call earth. After being married for almost forty-four years little things take a much less importance than when you are a young couple trying to learn from each other. Marriage is a wondrous thing, not perfect because after all perfection is not in this life but in the next one.

What happens to the love story when one leaves this earth? Real love never dies when it is of the true heart.
