Hello ,
In his address to the 1997 graduation class at East Stroudsburg University, U.S. Senator
Rick Santorum told a story seemingly unrelated to the usual commencement speeches about success and happiness.
This is the story: A Baptist preacher in South Carolina wanted nothing more out of life than to run a Bible college. All his life, he worked for the position and eventually attained it. As he fulfilled his life's dream and vocation,
Alzheimer's disease struck his wife.
Her health degenerated to the point where he could not possibly take care of her and work his full-time job. The preacher came to a decision - to give up his position as president of the Bible college. His peers were incredulous. "What are you doing?" they asked. "Your wife doesn't even know who you are!"
The man answered, "She might not know who I am, but I know who she is. She's the woman I made a promise to until death do us part."
In the world that we live in promises are often made and then forgotten. God has made a promise to each of us though, and we can take His promise to heart. Take out your Bible and read it today in John
14:1-3.
Have a great day and God bless!
