Loosely translated it means My Love &#8211; You are the light of my eyes.<\/p>\n<p>I dedicate this video to my wife. 20 years ago today, I made her a promise of love, trust &#038; understanding. I still hold dear that promise. See for the last few weeks I&#8217;ve been upset that we are not communication, but I forgot something. I forgot that when two people love each other deeply the communication is also deeper then just verbal, physical or even emotional. It&#8217;s spiritual&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" class=\"youtube-player\" type=\"text\/html\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uOwerd_CIwk?wmode=transparent&amp;fs=1&amp;hl=en&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;showsearch=0&amp;rel=1&amp;theme=dark\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>What do I mean, well let me tell you what happened today. This morning my wife left by 6:30 &#038; I did not get to see her. When I got up, I got my cup of coffee &#038; right next to the coffee machine was a card, a small gift wrapped in paper &#038; a tall box. All sitting on the counter waiting for me. I opened the card &#038; read the words. I opened the small gift &#038; it was a spiritual CD. So I hate to admit it but the CD of hymns stopped me &#038; I said to myself &#8220;I don&#8217;t have time for this, I&#8217;ll open the tall box later.&#8221; So I rushed out the door with my cup of coffee and went to work. <\/p>\n<p>As the day progressed, my son &#038; I went to get her a card and some flowers. As I&#8217;m looking thru the card aisle nothing seemed interesting &#038; as I was ready to leave, a card at the bottom shelf caught my eye. I turn around &#038; go check it out. The front was a black &#038; white card with vines on it. I open up the card &#038; before I could read it the music started playing. It was a very slow tempo song, sort of beep-bop song from the fifties. I immediately closed it without reading it because I did not like the song, put it back on the shelf &#038; I said to myself &#8220;I don&#8217;t have time for this!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I walked away, but something called me back! I opened the card again, ignoring the music &#038; start to read the words. it said <em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When I married you, I made you a promise to love you&#8230;&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/em> WOW that&#8217;s exactly what I did &#038; all of a sudden that promise was brand new for me again! So of course I got the card.<\/p>\n<p>But the surprising part came when I got home. I gave my wife the card &#038; flowers. As she is reading the card, she gasps! I ask her &#8220;what&#8217;s the matter?&#8221; She says &#8220;Open the box &#038; read the name of the sculpture that is inscribed on the bottom.&#8221; As I grab the statue &#8211; a couple in a loving embrace &#8211; turn it upside down, inscribed on the bottom are the words&#8230; <em><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Promise&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/em> <br \/>Wow! I can believe it. this is us in that loving embrace! We are both in a spiritual embrace and I didn&#8217;t even take the time to recognize it. We have both chosen &#8220;the Promise&#8221; in the gifts that we were giving to each other. Reaffirming that we are in sync with one another &#8211; even when the physical world only gives us challanges. I just have to trust that there is a greater force and we are one with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nThis video is titled &#8211; Habibi Ya Nour El Ain.
