Lord, only You know the number of my days. You have given me the truest gift of love, the strongest reflection of Your love, in my beloved. Let me cherish him completely, delight in him with newness each day, and savor him as if today is his last. Let me never be fooled by anger, irritation, mis-communication, or hurt. Let love always win because one day he or I will have to release the other into Your presence, and until Jesus comes again, all we will have are the memories that we have saved. Let them be of the fullest, most selfless love; let them be of Your love through us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
