Mr. Darcy: "How are you this evening, my Dear?"

Lizzy: "Very well. Only I wish you were not calling me my Dear."

Mr. Darcy: "Why?"

Lizzy: "Because it's what my father always calls my mother when he's crossed about something."

Mr. Darcy: "What endearments am I allowed?"

Lizzy: "Well, let me think. Lizzy, for everyday, my Pearl for Sundays, and Goddess when I'm in very special occasions."

Mr. Darcy: "And, what should I call you when I'm crossed? Mrs. Darcy?"

Lizzy: "No, no. You may only call me Mrs. Darcy, when you are completely, perfectly, incandescently happy."

Mr. Darcy: "And how are you this evening, Mrs. Darcy?"

The Single Gift

How blessed you are, you single one,

Don't talk of care and woes. 

You've got too much to be thankful for, 

Oh what, you'd like to know. 

It's no mistake, no misdirection

Of God's perfect plan

That you've not found your special lady

Or you, that certain man. 

God loves you so and has much more

To give than you're ever received. 

That He's giving His best to you right now,

You really must believe.

His best is Himself, do you have it in full

Or only a bit on the side.

No man can meet your needs like God, 

Nor can a lovely bride.

If your life's not complete, you know that Jesus is

And your life He will fill

If you'll only put Him first each day

And live to do His will.

He's gifted you for undistracted

Devotion to the Lord.

There should be nothing that can interfere

With Him and prayer and the Word.

Unless you let down the guard of your heart

And let others take His place,

Then you'll lack joy and peace and hope

And not experience His grace.

So give your heart right back to God,

Let Him keep it safe for you. 

And when it's better than His best, 

He'll make your one into two.

4th Week of Advent: Joy.

It's the fourth week of Advent period.

A bible quote from today's homily:

Psalm 62:5

"Only -- for God, be silent, O my soul, For from Him is my hope." 

It's simple enough to remind me to always joy and forget everything that matters before Christmas and listing New Year's resolutions and stick to them. 

Happy 6 days to Christmas! :)
