Anniverary

We’re celebrating our 26th wedding anniversary today!

When one reaches a milestone like this you tend to reflect back on what you’ve done and all you’ve accomplished.

For us, we’ve raised three amazing kids who each have moved out on their own - one of which is happily married and living close by. We’ve walked through times of better or worse, richer or poorer, sickness and health and have gone through our share of changes.


During our wedding ceremony we shared from 1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.” {NIV}
While these words are elegantly spoken in a wedding ceremony it’s quite another thing to actually live them out, day in and day out. Personally, I need to remind myself of those vows I made oh so long ago. 

It’s been just the two of us for the past few years now - and I think we’re settling into our new lifestyle. One with its share of ups and downs, good times and bad times, one I wouldn’t change for the world, and one I would do again.

Blessings

I'm the one that's happily married and lives close by. ;) Thanks for exemplifying a godly marriage. I'm thankful to have grown up in a loving home with not one, but two parents who held such high standards, values and ethics modeled after the Christian faith. Wishing you many more years of happy, marital bliss!
