True Love

Introduction

What a beautiful day to celebrate the union of two people who are deeply in love with each other.

When Sarah was born her mother started to pray for a husband that would love, honor, cherish and support no matter and Sarah has search far and wide and we can thank Denny's in North Branch.  Sarah was attending school in Pine City and instead of going home she would stop by a restaurant or coffee shop to study.  

When she walked into Denny's she was not impressed at all by the dining and service environment she made a decision that would change her entire life.  She decided to head over to Perkins and that is where the God's chosen man was working as a manager.  

The sparks started to fly and after a number of daily visits Norm finally worked up enough courage to ask her out and when asked, Sarah said No.....but as we can tell she finally said yes and here we are today. 

Over the past 2 ½ years I have witness something truly amazing between the two of them and the best way that I can describe  with 2 words, "True Love"

I have chosen a text out of the Song of Solomon and is perhaps the greatest hymn to love ever expressed. The Song of Solomon is a book a bride and groom along with eyewitness express the power of their true love for each other.  In today's text, Song of Solomon, 8:6-7 is where the Bride talks about her
