He Is A Real Dreamboat
Lily Among Thorns Song Of Solomon 2:2 In the Last Days
2nd Peter 3:3
Shape Up and Fly Right, Chapter 2, Pages 75, 76
No matter what bit of news may have been hot off the press, nothing was so urgent to communicate that couldn’t have waited until we were both in the safe confines of the truck. But I grew even more puzzled when having a second take of her expression, the silly grin came upon her face, and after wasting no time securing her presence behind some boxes she’d quickly let me in on the know.
“You sure are fortunate, Lily girl. And you’re not going to believe what’s happening under the radar.”
In response I questioned what in the world is she babbling about and not even beginning to imagine anything in this place to consider me fortunate! I just know I had a baffled look on my face, because she wasted no time in explaining herself.
“Look who’s got his eyes on you.”
She then turned for me to follow in the same direction, and me being a most curious sort. I saw who she was talking about. When our eyes met, he was in his prime with no more than two or three years on me, and he gave me such a warm inviting smile. I found myself smiling back without even knowing why, but if I were hard pressed to give a reasonable explanation, it would have to be the honesty in his intuitive striking blue eyes. And while sorting out the particulars, I took a thoughtful note of his clean cut dreamy sunlit hair, and somehow from his reserved persona, I instinctively knew he could be trusted and it was obvious he didn’t give his affections readily. He was a Dream Come True standing tall and looking confident. He was almost too good to be true, and yet there he was in all his good tone goodness.
I was then stricken by a well dose of realism.
Author’s Commentary
Prior to Lily’s unjustly incarceration, it should also be duly noted. Lily may had been free to roam, but emotionally speaking, she held herself captive from the prospect of another emotional heartbreak. But once she found herself brave enough to reveal her story of heartache to her mother. Lily took to heart her mom’s encouraging words of support to “Never Give Up On Love”.
On that same eventide Lily may have drifted off to sleep with a blissful smile on her expression by reconciling to once more open her heart to the idea of love and romance. But timing is everything isn’t it, and for Lily it seemed her time had run out. She soon found herself at odds with a immoral government opposed to her dearest faithfulness to the Holy Scriptures”.
Now at the present time Lily is physically held captive locked away in a tiny cell, or you might even say a deep dark dungeon where they, “The Global Apostate Wicked Regime.” threw away the key, because there was just no way Lily would ever be set free and to go unmolested on her way. But in the big wicked scheme of things Lily is let out of prison to go and “Work For The Man.” And yet through it all Lily’s heart is still that of a tender fledgling, and with the nights growing colder as the weather starts to change from Fall to Winter. She is thankful to the Lord for her leather jacket to keep out the chill. Yet she finds herself blowing into her palms quite often to keep warm, because unfortunately for Lily. The warehouse workplace is as cold as an icebox, and as the work nights repeat themselves much as the night before. Lily keeps a low profile, and by working steady to not only keep warm. She is literally working under the gun to complete her assigned task, while heavily armed guards keep a close eye on this defrauded “Global Enterprise”.
Lily being forced to live in hostile territory. She is now in constant danger of her personal liberties being violated. She maintains her stability by being in a continuous state of prayer such as it is written in Psalm 18:10, The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.
On this malevolent night to Lily’s extreme relief. All appears to be going accordingly, and the last thing on her mind is what awaits for her up ahead. Brought to her attention is the interest of a handsome admirer. Lily for the first time in less then half a decade is ready to concede to feelings of attraction, and yet. The quandary for her lies with the disparaging thought she is now held captive from without only left to manifest her heart’s desires from within.

1stCorinthians 7:2-4, Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.
Ephesians 5:28-33, So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth it and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church. For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless, let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
Hebrews 13:4, Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
