It was a romantic dinner, with floating candles and red petals, love songs echoing through the place, and a red rose from my dear. The post-valentine is a yearly event of our church in Makati for couples to celebrate. This year it was held at the Makati Sports Club last February 24, 2008. It was our first time to join.
The night was highlighted with a deep and entertaining message from the singing couple, Pastor Don Espina and his lovely wife. We ended up renewing our vows along with the other couples who were there. I was really moved with the message of Pastor Don, somebody who was so honest of his own mistakes in the 30 years of marriage with his wife. He was able to convey that keeping your commitment to your spouse is your lifelong commitment to your God. He also stated "The relationship of a husband and a wife is the closest picture of God's intimacy with HIS people in eternity," I found that very astonishing!
The event was spearheaded by Jovince and Lia who planned to give some tokens and gifts to the couples, and prepared a grand prize for the winner. We won! An overnight in a condotel! Wow, it was really a real treat.
Well, we're gonna watch out for the next post-Valentine for it's gonna be very exciting, an overnight in a hotel right after the romantic dinner! Of course, as the Lord permits, pastor Don and wife will still be our speakers and coaches! ;)
