Last week was our 37th Wedding Anniversary!
Quite a feat for these days when so many marriages fail.
While talking to someone who was engaged to be married about this I was asked, "So what's the secret of a long and happy marriage?". Pausing for thought I replied, "Probably forgiveness, a determination to make it work and never stop loving him." Of course it has meant we have had our ups and downs, but for both of us loving Jesus helps tremendously as we tackle life's journey and difficulties with Him in prayer. But both of us have resolved to love, forgive and pray together and for us it works, especially as we work together as well as live 24/7.
Today we have 3 grown children. Both boys are now married to lovely Christian wives and have nearly 3 grandchildren between them (one due in July) and our daughter who still lives with us, but often has the house to herself when we are working away from home. They are all such a blessing to us.
Well it's only 3 years to our 40th Anniversary (Ruby), so it should be enough time for my husband to start saving for one!!
