Today We Celebrate

It's our 15th Anniversary and a great milestone to celebrate. Fifteen years ago today we were married in Decatur, Indiana on a nice, warm, sunny day. I am thankful that the Lord has protected us and has given us a love that grows all the time. 

"What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put assunder."

Matthew 19:6b, KJV

A Marriage Prayer

Lord, be in this marriage

In a special way,

May we feel Your presence

Each and every day.

Grant us both good humor 

To surpass our coming years;

May there always be much laughter,

May there always be less tears.

Give us strength and courage

To follow in Your will,

To trust You in the valley

As we do upon the hill.

Give us both the eyes of love

So we'll always see

The goodness in each other,

Secure us, Lord, in Thee.

Give us words of kindness, Lord,

Help us both live

So our lips are ever quick

In saying, "I forgive."

Give us hearts that beat as one,

Bind us ever near;

May our love grow deeper, Lord,

With each passing year.

Lord, be in this marriage,

Keep our love brand new;

May we love each other, Lord,

The same way that *You* do.

Tonight we are going to a nice, Italian restaurant in Manchester called Giorgio's. Just the two of us. I'm looking forward to it. And in just a couple of weeks, we are going on a Mediterranean cruise to Rome, Turkey, Greece, and then to Sicily with the kids. They've never experienced this and we're excited to have them along. 

Have a blessed weekend!!
