IN SIECKNESS AND IN HEALTH by Jerry L. Jones (new reading txt) 📕

In sickness and in health, words that most of us have heard spoken at least once if not more, but how often do we hear with the heart and not just with the mind?

Forty years this October 2011 my lovely wife and I spoke those words before God and man never dreaming just how much those five words would play out in my life.

Following ill in 1993 to pneumonia and at the edge of death, if not by the answered prayers from many family and friends, as I lay there not knowing just what was being done for me.

Then you receive the news that you have and COPD due to pneumonia and must live on oxygen for the rest of your life.

What next “diabetes” taking 200+ unites of insulin a day.

All of the above sounds as thou I fell sorry for myself, but that could not be farther from the truth.

I now look back and wonder if I could do all that she has done for me in the years of my bad health! I would hope so “IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH” words not hastily spoken.

Why put this to pain? Not only to give praise to a wonderful wife that God gave me, but to say to all, believe with your heart the word spoken, and not just with your lips.

God never said life would be easy, but with the help of your soul mate the bumps in the road or not so bad.

I know just how much a good wife can mean to a man and thank God for her.
