Children’s Time “What Are Ways We Can Show Love to Others?” Pastor John
Special Music Smoke Gets in Your Eyes John Song

Sung by The Platters, 1958
Message “What Is ‘Falling in Love’ About?” Rev. John Song
People say “love is blind.” For those of us who had the fortune or misfortune of “falling in love” knows it’s magical and intoxicating. What is “Romantic Infatuation” and why are we so addicted to it? What is happening? Does the bible reveal something about this? What do mystics and saints teach us about this? We will explore the mystery of falling in love.
“You have made us for yourself, O Lord,
and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
~ Saint Augustine of Hippo, the 4th century theologians from Confessions of St. Augustine
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Piano Concerto No. 21 in C major, K. 467
[A story of two teens frolicking in the forest, eating wild berries, cream milk from the farm, like Romeo & Juliet, parts way when sun goes down.]
We were two young hearts wandering
where the path forgot our names —
running through green woods,
laughing at nothing,
staining our fingers with wild berries.
We drank the day like sweet cream milk from a farm cup,
and time, for once, did not hurry us.
Like Romeo and Juliet,
we believed the sun would never set.
But evening always comes.
So when the light softened and the sky learned to let go,
we parted —
not because love ended,
but because it had already become something eternal.
