Til I Said It To You
(Tom Shapiro/Sharon Vaughn/Walter Wilson)

Love is a powerful word
A little word that oughta mean something
Love better mean what it says
Say what you mean or it doesn't mean nothing
Love is a dangerous door to open
If you don't feel it when it's spoken

Footage of Reba starring out a window.  Then go to a shot of Narvel looking out a window in the other direction. Both looking puzzled and disappointed. Maybe Reba could be holding mementos from past lovers, like letters.

Sometimes I said it when I really didn't mean it
Just to throw away a promise I knew wasn't true
It meant a little less to me everytime I did it
But I never said I love you from the heart
Til I said it to you

Show shots of Charlie and Reba together.  Show shots of Narvel and his first wife.  Then go back to Reba having dinner and kissing on some guy.  Then go to Narvel walking with a girl(me) and kissing her on a huge bed.

You made me tell you the truth
And that truth was a total revelation
I see I have it in me
Now I can speak without any hesitation
I love you comes so freely
For the first time I believe me

Shots of Reba and Narvel talking together.  You can tell Reba is not too sure about something but then tells him, and Narvel says go ahead and do it.   The rest of the video is full of clips of them talking, laughing, and holding each other.  The last frame is a picture of Narvel Reba and Shelby.

I hope this is kind of what you were looking for.  Just remember, I get to be the one with Narvel before Reba gets him!!!!LOL  I could go into more detail about the scenes on the bed, but I’ll let your imagination take it!

thanks Bree

PORTRAIT OF A SON

A wealthy man and his son loved to collect rare works of art. They had everything in their collection, from Picasso to Raphael. They would often sit together and admire the great works of art. When the Viet Nam conflict broke out, the son went to war. He was very courageous and died in battle while rescuing another soldier. The father was notified and grieved deeply for his only son.

About a month later, just before Christmas, there was a knock at the door. A young man stood at the door with a large package in his hands. He said, Sir, you don't know me, but I am the soldier for whom your son gave his life. He saved many lives that day, and he was carrying me to safety when a bullet struck him in the heart and he died instantly. He often talked about you, and your love for art.

The young man held out his package. I know this isn't much. I'm not really a great artist, but I think your son would have wanted you to have this; The father opened the package. It was a portrait of his son, painted by the young man. He stared in awe at the way the soldier had captured the personality of his son in the painting. The father was so drawn to the eyes that his own eyes welled up with tears. He thanked the young man and offered to pay him for the picture. Oh, no sir, I could never repay what your son did for me. It's a gift.

The father hung the portrait over his mantle. Every time visitors came to his home he took them to see the portrait of his son before he showed them any of the other great works he had collected.                       

The man died a few months later. There was to be a great auction of his paintings. Many influential people gathered, excited over seeing the great paintings and having an opportunity to purchase one for their collection.
                         
On the platform sat the painting of the son. The auctioneer pounded his gavel. We will start the bidding with this picture of the son. Who will bid for this picture; Someone in back of the room shouted, "We want to see the famous paintings. Skip this one"; But the auctioneer persisted, "Will someone bid for this painting? Who will start the bidding? $100, $200?"; Another voice shouted angrily, "We didn't come to see this painting. We came to see the Van Goghs, the Rembrandts. Get on with the real bids"; But still the auctioneer continued, "The son! The son! Who'll take the son?"

Finally, a voice came from the very back of the room. It was the longtime gardener of the man and his son. He shouted, I'll give $10 for the painting." Being a poor man, it was all he could afford. "We have $10, who will! bid 20?" "Give it to him for $10. Let's see the masters." "$10 is the bid, won't someone bid $20?"

The crowd was becoming angry. They didn't ! want the picture of the son. They wanted the more worthy investments for their collections. The auctioneer pounded the gavel. "Going once, twice, SOLD for $10". A man sitting on the second row shouted, "Now let's get on with the collection; The auctioneer laid down his gavel, "I'm sorry, the auction is over." 

"What about the paintings?"  

"I am sorry. When I was called to conduct this auction, I was told of a secret stipulation in the will.. I was not allowed to reveal that stipulation until this time. Only the painting of the son would be auctioned. Whoever bought that painting would inherit the entire estate, including the paintings. The man who took the! son gets everything."
                        
God gave his Son 2,000 years ago to die on a cruel cross. Much like the auctioneer, His message today is, The Son, the Son, who'll take the Son?; Because you see, whoever takes the Son gets everything.
