Our Anniversary

I actually write these blogs on Thursday and schedule them to post on Saturday.  Today (Thursday) is Michelle’s and my 15th anniversary.  It is such a wonderful day.  Yesterday was too, and tomorrow will be as well, but these mile marker days are really wonderful.

Some of these 15 years have been super spectacularly fabulous, and others have been, kick us in the face, difficult.   The easy ones were so fun to go through together, and the hard ones were fun to go through  too because we made it together.  It is not good that DeWayne should be alone.  God said that, and He sure knew what he was talking about.

Marriage is being belittled by some and redefined, at least on paper, by others, but the real thing transends all that.  I love my wife from the center of my being, and thank God for her all day every day.  Not only because she’s beautiful, though she is, not only because she loves me back, though she does, and not only  for all the other amazing things about her, though they are countless, but because God gave her to me, to love,honor, cherish and protect as His stand-in until death do we part.

Its a big job really, but I love it and it doesn’t seem like work, though sometimes those tough day make it feel like it a little.  Its glorious, and laden with joy.  We’ve completed 15 years and have loads of wonder filled years to go.  I’m thankful for them all.
