Forty One!
Today we celebrate our forty first wedding anniversary, by the grace of God and NA. Plus, today is Father’s Day, happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there. Plus, today is summer solstice, the longest day of the year and boy oh boy did we take advantage of it. I don’t know what got into me, but when I asked my husband “what do you want to do today?” and he said, “whatever you want to do”, I thought, “alrighty then”, let’s do this! Lol. We already knew we were going to church; we went to the church we got married in. I love that little country church; it holds so many memories for us.
After church we decided to use the Texas Roadhouse gift cards we’ve had for so long, they’re not at all close to us, but it was worth it, traffic and all, long wait list and all, umm, great food. Then we went to the movies and seen a silly movie called “Masters of the Universe” it was cute, and you can bet, there will be more of them. Then, lastly, we stopped by one of my sponsee’s house and told her and her husband goodbye, one more time before they move to the other side of the country. I sure am gonna miss her. And I pray for their new life there to be as wonderful as they are all hoping it will be. Amen.
In church today the pastor was talking about Ephesians 6:1-4 because of it being Father’s Day, but I also thought of how these verses apply to our marriage. It talks of obedience, trust and honor, in the Lord. At first, I had a hard time with the obeying part but found out that when you are married to a godly, awesome man as I am, it is easy to follow his lead, especially when I know he consults God about everything. Same thing with me letting go and trusting God himself, I found out that He is a God of love and again, I find that easy to follow and put my trust in Him. I am grateful to get to do so.
And honor, I do indeed honor my husband and my God. They are both loving, kind and true to me. They have nothing but good intentions for me and with me. One of the pastors last statements today regarding our children is to walk them in the way of love. I know this has been true in our marriage as well. Of course we do this with our children, we love them so very much and have tried to impart that love and God’s love to them every change we get. But if the parents are not showing love to each other, then it will be difficult for the children to grasp true love when they are grown and in relationships. Therefore, we must honor one another, for real and the love will shine through.
It’s been a long, wonderful, blessed day and I am tired, a good tired. So happy to be home in our cozy little cottage, quietly enjoying our evening as we usually do, just me and him these days mostly. I love it, I love him and I love God for putting him in my life, what a great life we’ve had so far too, because we stayed clean and worked a program and did a step three for real, giving our will and our life to the care of our God, the same loving God that brought us together, I am forever and deeply grateful, happy anniversary my Love, thank you for hanging with me all these years. We’ve been together longer than we’ve been married. He is an amazing man.
