Sunday night was a great night for me as I watched the resurgent Liverpool under new manager Kenny Dalglish beat the home team and pre-match favorites Chelsea Liverpool .
Those who know me well know that I am a great fan of Liverpool Football club. Many people have been asking me with concern if I’m still supporting them despite the bad start. In fact things were so bad at some point I turned my focus to my local team Gor Mahia. But I couldn’t still get myself off Liverpool . Just this past weekend, one of my colleagues’ sons asked me if I still supported Liverpool bearing in mind that one of our best strikers Torres had just dissed us for our enemy,Chelsea
Mine and Liverpool is a case of “till death do part us”, I am committed to them and because of that “I will never walk alone”. This should be the same with our commitment to our spouse. When I married Grace, my wife for almost 16 years, I promised her that I would be faithful to her till death do us part. I don’t remember making a similar vow to Liverpool, but just as I have remained faithful and loyal to them,I should remain faithful and loyal to my wife Grace in good times and bad times; when we are winning and even when we are losing; for better or for worse; when the feelings are there and when you just have to go on by faith.
By the way Grace wasn’t amused that I left her on Sunday to go and cheer my team and so we had some “dome” which we kinda resolved (I don’t know about her, but to me we resolved it). But even as such times, when things are hot and she doesn't understand why I have to watch Liverpool beat Chelsea, I’m still committed to her. She too is committed to me and no matter what, I chose to continue loving her and will do so till death do us part. Hey, if you happen to see her (Grace), tell her how much I love her.
A necessary reminder Pastor. Its very often easy to forget what I made a vow on. Am particularly running with "when we are winning and even when we are losing; for better or for worse; when the feelings are there and when you just have to go on by faith".
ReplyDeleteThanks Pastor.
Powerful word pastor...'whether the feelings are there or not'.. I remember you teaching us that when it comes to loving our spouse in those hard times, feelings are suposed to folow actions. We love whether we feel like it or not. 'fake-it-till-you-make-it kind of thing :-). It works.
ReplyDelete`I don’t know about her, but to me we resolved it`, really cracked me up!. Hope you`ve now made sure it was resolved. We really get alot from your blog Pasi. God bless and keep them coming.
