Family
Too Amazing
The Book of Proverbs was written
long before the technological age.
Before Jumbo jets shared
the sky with Eagles.
Scientific research of snakes and how
they move and the large cruise ships.
Yet, I find myself like the writer of
Proverbs still being too amazed.
These things are too amazing as I watch and wonder.
Like the writer it is the fourth
thing that keeps me in awe.
“The way of a man with a young woman.”
It is certainly
amazing the attraction
a man has to the female body.
It is so powerful that a man will be
in a battle against lust all his life.
There is something more amazing than
the hormones and physical attraction.
Too Amazing is the power of “LOVE”.
Percy Sledge recorded the song written by
Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright in 1966…
“When a Man Loves a Woman”
This #1 hit song tries to describe this wonder.
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For the good thing he's found
Can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For the good thing he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it
She can do no wrong
And turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
She can do no wrong
And turn his back on his best friend
If he puts her down
When a man loves a woman
Spend his very last dime
And trying to hold on to what he needs
Spend his very last dime
And trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all his comforts
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way, it ought to be
And sleep out in the rain
If she said that's the way, it ought to be
When a man loves a woman
I give you everything I've got
Trying to hold on to your precious love
And baby baby please don't treat me bad
I give you everything I've got
Trying to hold on to your precious love
And baby baby please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
Deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she is playing him for a fool
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see ….
He's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see ….
When a man loves a woman
It changes him it
changes her
When a man loves a
woman
It transforms the
soul of him and her
When a man loves a
woman
It develops maturity
in him and her
When a man loves a
woman
It transforms his and
her lives
It is too amazing to
me and I don’t understand
“The way of a man with a young woman”
If the way of love makes so amazing changes why do some
young
men as they get older give anything other than love to their
woman
The foundation of the marriage
the family cycle must be love
When love is the motivation life is not
only too amazing
It is too amazing and wonderful
Keep that loving feeling
because love never fails
Scripture Reading NIV
Proverbs 30:18-19
18 "There are
three things that are too amazing for me,
four that I do not
understand:
19 the way of an
eagle in the sky,
the way of a snake on
a rock,
the way of a ship on
the high seas,
and the way of a man
with a maiden.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
4 Love is patient,
love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not
rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of
wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails.
There are 6 cycles for a family to navigate
“Cycles of family life”
The marriage
Bearing children
Raising children
The empty nest / launching new family
The declining years
Death in the marriage
Family cycles should be a great experience for the whole
family
