Classic Love

This weekend starts our new message series at Community of Faith entitled "Classic Love." It is all about making relationships last. It should be a fun series as we include some classic love songs from the 60's, 70's, and 80's. 


Mark and I have been studying for the series this week, but just today I witnessed a couple of examples of "classic love" in my own family. These are not examples of love in a marriage, but they are extreme examples of love in relationships.


Classic Love #1:  David and Sydneyann on a plane flying home to hang out with mom since she will have to skip COF's 3rd Annual Tailgate party this weekend. They are wearing masks to keep from bringing germs home to mom who has a weakened immune system due to chemotherapy. Now that's classic love!




Classic Love #2: Mark returns from the grocery store with a massive bag of grapefruit. I give him a questioning look, and he says, "You know how much David likes grapefruit." I double over with laughter. David will have to stay for a month to eat all those grapefruit! Daddy is glad his boy is coming to visit! That's classic love!



I hope you have witnessed some examples of classic love this week!

  7. grapefruit....that is too funny! cause i guess david can't get citrus out in california, right? ;)

    those are sweet examples. i'll have to think of those things in my own life. i know they are there, you just have to pay attention and value them when they happen and not just take it forgranted.
