Proverbs 21:3
"To do what is right and just
is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice."
To sacrifice, to give up a part of myself has always been my way of showing someone that I truly love. However, today's first reading reminds me to chill. I guess drama is not always needed. To follow the right path and to be just is all that is needed.
"It's up to my wife.." A student told me today when I asked them to present in class their future plans. I honestly was taken aback by his response. He wasn't the type of who would let someone decide for him. But there he was telling me this. Somehow, I wasn't sure that his declaration was for real. When I asked him if the decision to get married was his, he simply said, "I don't have a choice." I wonder. If I were the fiance and I heard all these, how would it feel like? On the other hand, will men really dodge the bullets of marriage if they could? Why so? Is marriage only for the weak? I hope not.
