Clayton & Abigail

We are excited to begin our journey into a covenant with one another on March 20th, 2021.

Understanding the concepts that are invested in words can aid us in our own lives. As an interesting example, the word "love" which is thrown about so freely in English, but has a special meaning in Hebrew. Love in Hebrew is "Ahava", which is made up of three basic Hebrew letters. These three letters are broken down into two parts: the first letter and the root. The meaning of the root is "to give". The letter "aleph", which precedes the root to modify the meaning of the base word "give". We now see the connection between the two words, "I give" and "love". Love is giving. Not only is love giving, but the actual process of giving develops the very connection between the giver and the receiver. There is no greater giving than that of a husband and wife. Each one gives to the other. The more giving that one does, the greater is the connection. This is the word we choose to use to express our love, because we have to be willing "to give love" no matter how we feel.
