Happy 45th Wedding Anniversary to you and your bride. This meaningful spiritual system of Christ moved me to write the following ideas here.<br /><br />Christ’s Holy Church: Not just a building, but bound by His Body and Blood<br /><br />Human spirits are called to Holy and Sacred worship, gathering together to glorify the one resurrected Christ. The one Holy and perfect Sacrifice offered for humankind, giving the lost and weary souls an eternal rest from an eternal hell.<br /><br />Marriage is a Holy Sacrament that is ordained by God. The unified Church is His bride, His helper, and His always faithful (Semper Fidelis!) reliable companion. <br /><br />(The Latin motto, Semper Fidelis, is that of the U.S. Marines - this commentator is married to a Marine and we celebrated our 25th anniversary last week escaping Harveycane as my husband put it.)<br /><br />Christ's true bride will never divide herself from her Holy Husband because civil arguments are settled with God’s great commandments in mind: to Love God first, and to Love thy Neighbor as Thyself.<br /><br />God knows that humans will have trouble in their lives and that children are naturally drawn to His Holy Spirit. God wants His children to shine their lights in this dark world. He knows human hearts; He binds humans by His love and mercy to build His kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven” together as brothers and sisters.<br /><br />Children are truth seekers and tellers, and they're innocent until they are trained otherwise. Christ's true followers are, together His faithful bride and individually His faithful children, bound by His Holy Body and Blood.<br /><br />AH, God bless you and your family now and always!MIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947286602634684447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-9605967546133583952017-09-01T14:05:41.003-07:002017-09-01T14:05:41.003-07:00What a lovely story, Mr. Haley!
