A ROMANTIC THOUGHT FROM THE BIBLE

My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms in the vineyards of Engedi (Song of Solomon 1:14).

I thought that short verse might inspire some one to use the remaining hours of Valentine's Day in a romantic fashion.  So get to it, the time is short!!!

Our Father's Blessings,
Tom

AN ADDENDUM:  Seriously, there is nothing more romantic than a husband and wife working together to achieve the same goal and purpose.  The reason so many marriages fail is that the couple has differing expectations that are often unspoken, and no unifying purpose as to what they want to accomplish in marriage.  Real romance is not feeling in love, but is knowing why you are together and appreciating each other for it.  Feeling in love is not enough.

I've been to the Engedi--it is an oasis in the desert.  That may be a clue as to the meaning of the verse.
