Love Your Neighbor

"Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:18

We will be leaving in the morning to attend the wedding of the daughter of my oldest and dearest friend. (Don't mean she is oldest in age...longest in friendship...she might get upset if she read it wrong!!) So I was thinking what would be good advice for a couple starting out on what I pray will be the long road of marriage. I cannot think of better than Leviticus 19:18.
Andrea and Patrick, if you really consider it, beginning Saturday you will be each others closest neighbor. Closer than those folks next door or the ones across the street. You will be each others "people". So treat each other with love and respect, let those little moments of irritation go. When you look at each other see yourself in their eyes. Treat each other as the thought of our Creator that you are. We were made to love, so love.
Love to both of you and may God bless you and yours forever and ever.
