We got home yesterday from the Hillsboro Family Camp. We had to leave a day early because a lady in our congregation passed away and her funeral was this morning. Minnie Brown was 97 and she and her husband Ralph, who died in September of 2006, were married over 70 years.
How do you do that? Well this story should show you how: A lady from our church asked Ralph what kind of pie was his favorite. She was going to bake him one since Minnie couldn't bake anymore. Ralph thought for a minute and told her, "Minnie likes Lemon."
Thinking of the other persons wants, needs, and desires is how. May I have that kind of marriage and may you as well.

I just stumbled across your blog but this is a great story and good sermon illustration. I have saved it to use in a sermon but you should submit to an illustration website or something like that.
