"Songs of Solomon' by Solomon
I may have cheated this week but technically, "Songs of Solomon" is a book...in the Bible.
I actually chose to read this for two reasons: 1) I needed something short as the process of packing/moving/life proved to be difficult for me to spend a whole lot of time reading and 2) my husband and I had just gotten into a BIG fight and I felt I needed to be reminded of love.
When I was younger, Songs of Solomon was my favorite book of the Bible because I could understand it. The desire, the need for another, the anticipation. There wasn't a whole lot of deciphering or arguments on the context as with most books of the Bible. This book is one purely of the love of another.
I needed to read this at this moment because I needed to be reminded of the yearning and love I have for my husband. Marriage isn't easy and there are going to be downs as well as ups. Being reminded of that initial feeling we had in the early stages of love helped me to realize that we will get through this fight just as we had before.
I would recommend referring to the Bible more often when you find yourself in times of anger and loss. God always has the answers.
