My wife saw the Greatest showman, and of course, I got to listen to the soundtrack (a lot), and when I first heard the song ‘Never Enough’, not being a real good listener, I heard this song of a lady for whom nothing was enough – not the stars, the fame, nothing. She wanted more and more.
Then for some reason I really listened. You know, like when you’ve tried it your way four times and can’t get it to work, and your wife’s voice, who has been quietly suggesting a different way for fifteen minutes, gets through, and you pause to listen, and it works?
it’s the four words she says right before all of the ‘never enough’ over and over again…
“Because Darling without you”…
And in that instant, the song transformed. It wasn’t about endless craving; it was about completeness. It was about love. Now, it’s not just a song I’ve memorized—it’s a lesson. A poignant reminder of what true, deep, and forever love is really about.
God, in His infinite wisdom, gave us our wives. From all eternity, He saw the masterpiece we could create together. He placed two pieces of a puzzle in this vast universe, meant to fit together perfectly, building a life of beauty, strength, and wonder.
I take her for granted, because it’s easy to forget how deeply in love we really are.
We race around, because that’s the world we live in, but in all the racing, I lose sight of that wonderful person that I promised my life too, one, five or fifty years ago, and she becomes part of the scenery.
We need to stop. To look. To really see.
Tomorrow will come, just as it always does, but the time we have with the one we love most today can never be reclaimed. These moments are fleeting, precious, and irreplaceable.
So let’s choose to hold her hand, to look into her eyes, to listen. Let’s let her know, in word and deed, that we see her, treasure her, and are grateful for her every single day.
Because truly, without her…
these hands could hold the world, but it’ll never be enough…
