Commitment

December 4commitment;rings;hearts;love

I am thankful for commitment. With commitment, we know that our significant others will stick by us through good and bad. Without true commitment, our relationships are shallow. Love is a necessary requirement for people to become committed to one another. Commitment can also be something that seems trivial like keeping your word or your promise, but in fact, is the cornerstone of trust.

I learned this technique in an article on wedding photgraphy. You put a wedding ring in the crease of a book, here a Bible, and shine a light at just the right angle, and presto, you have a heart shadow. I tot the idea of joining both man and woman rings to produce interlocking hearts to represent commitment. This is Bebe's engagement and wedding rings and my wedding ring. The page from the Bible is from First Corinthians chapter 13, which is all about love. "Love is patient, love is kind..."

commitment

i give this promise to you

there will be times

when i will make little sense

there will be times

when i will be rather dense

and there will be times

when you will want me out

and there will be times

that i will make you shout

but in those times

this my promise so true

that i will always hold on

and will always love you.
