The Power of Two

So this picture, here shows Hubby and I in one of our favourite poses. But this time it was strategic. Walking around at church I didn’t realize the pen I was holding had successfully drawn designs in the top I was wearing! So I abandoned plans for any further pictures for the day.

We got home and hubby decided to take some photos and yours truly decided that she would not be left out after all! 😃Y3 p3 pictures!😃😃😃

I realized I needed hubby’s hands and mine to cover up the pen drawings. With our powers combined, the photo shoot with ace photographer, daughter numero uno, Natania went well! You agree don’t you?😃😃😃

As usual in the mundane, my heart lit up with the powerful truth of how potent oneness in marriage is. One will chase a thousand, but two will chase ten thousand. There is a multiplier effect when two people bring their gifts, talents and abilities together for good and even for evil! (Mercy Lord)

Working together, we could cover my area of vulnerability and achieve our aim, in this case a picture for our memory bank!😊

Off course life presents us with much more complex challenges but the principle of working together can still help us surmount these challenges.

It takes one to admit that “I have a problem” and the other to be willing to help that person to walk through a process for resolution. It may mean covering up for the other person, especially in public (and I don’t mean condoning evil deeds please) or helping them overcome a weakness or avoid problems.

In marriage, the two must always be willing to fight for each other and support each other – oneness! After all we have become one flesh! That means Your pain is my pain, and we ride it together, your joy is my joy and we dance to the beat as one!

When we can use our strengths to serve each other to the best of our ability, our weaknesses don’t have to be a deal breaker! We can accommodate, we can accept and we can help each other to be better versions of ourselves – the person God designed us each to be in Christ!

“Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up. Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

I pray that the Holy Spirit will touch every married couple and uproot every seed of division and competition among us. May we like the people who built the Tower of Babel discover and apply the power of unity, to achieve great things together! Shalom!
