Today is Rog’s and mine fourth wedding anniversary. During our ‘courtship’ Rog gave me a music box that played the tune “You Light Up My Life.” It was recorded by Debbie Boone and became the most successful single of the 1970s in the U.S.

So many nights I sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now
You’ve come along.

It can’t be wrong
When it feels so right
‘Cause You
You light up my life.

– Written by Joe Brooks

In reminiscing about our early days, I got to thinking how these lyrics not only apply to Rog’s feelings towards me and vice versa, but to my relationship with Spirit.

Turns out I’m not the only one who thinks this. Although written by the composer as a love song, Debbie Boone interpreted the song as inspirational and proclaimed that it was instead God who “lit up her life.” [Click here for some more trivia…]

Great minds think alike. Actually, me thinks it’s more like One Heart and One Mind. And really, everyone and everything can light up our life, if we so choose.
