Perfect

Home | Preacher's Diary

Perfect A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family members came to witness the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. What a wonderful time they all had. The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true. A few months later, the wife comes to the husband with a proposal - "I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our relationship." she offered, "Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about them as how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together." The husband agreed, so each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists. "I'll start," offered the wife, so she took out her list. It had many items on it enough to fill 3 pages, in fact. As she started reading the list of the little annoyances with her husbnad, she noticed that tears were starting to roll down from her husbands eyes. "What's wrong, Dear?" she asked. "Nothing" the husband replied, "keep reading your list." The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over top of it, and said to her husband happily - "Now, you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists." Quietly the husband stated - "I don't have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the way that you are. I don't want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn't want to try and change anything about you." The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept for her thoughts and behavior. In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don't really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying things when we can look wondrous things before us? I believe that we are happiest when we see and praise the the good and try our best to forget the bad. Nobody's perfect but we can find perfection in them to change the way we see them.
