When Love Speaks Everything Changes

So often we don't here the good news stories. We have often heard the comments "Only bad news sells news"  well sometimes you've got to just here some good news for a change. Again I was surfing the net in my normal way, looking at the headlines, national and local. Looking at the politics pages on-line and then looking at social interest articles when I came across this heart-warming piece of news from the US and wanted it to be on my blog-site.  

After being diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour last year one husband immediately arranged a plan for his wife to always remember him on Valentine’s Day. It’s not uncommon for a husband to send his wife flowers on Valentine’s Day. But for Shelly Golay, this gesture means more than just flowers. “Until the day I die I’ll get Valentine’s flowers on Valentine’s Day and that’s just a testament of his love all over again,” Golay said. Last February, Shelly’s husband Jim was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. “My husband was dealing with brain cancer,” Golay said. “He had a Glioblastoma and it was an uphill climb. The diagnosis wasn't good.” Jim wanted to make Valentine’s Day special for his wife, but he knew his days were limited. So, he came to this flower shop to set-up a plan so that Shelly would always remember how much Jim loved her on Valentine’s Day.” “Basically he had called and set it up before he passed and what it’s going to be is just, every Valentine’s Day just some of her favourite flowers the assorted roses,” Florist Jessie Row said. “ Mixed colours things like that, every day until she dies.” The flowers were delivered two days before Valentine’s Day. And when Shelly first saw the flowers were from Jim, she was speechless. So she contacted the flower shop about it, only to find out Jim’s everlasting Valentine’s Day plan. This is one Valentine’s Day that Shelly says she will always remember. “It was true love and you just don’t find that very often,” Golay said. “You know, the fairy tale romance, the knight in shining armour, you just don’t find that. And even though we didn't get the fairy tale ending, it was amazing.”

Here is a sign of true love. His love was speaking to his wife beyond the grave so to speak.  Paul the Spostle reminds of this kind of love in 1 Corinthians 13.
