This August 19 is our 35th wedding anniversary. The Bible verse we chose for our special day way back then is also the same verse that blesses us when we continue to practice what it preaches.
For when we find our delight in God first,
we will be delighted in our marriage best.
Someone mentioned their wedding flowers were peach roses, and after almost 35 years of marriage to the husband of my youth, I was prompted to realize something about our favorite Westerland rose-bush in our garden. It’s the same color the roses on our wedding cake were.
It’s funny how something can sit in sight for years and not be visible to those closest to it. I’ve also discovered old things about my husband that seem new again.
He’s still my best friend.
And I’m thankful I delighted in the Lord, for He has given me the desired man of my heart.
Delight yourself in the LORD,
and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4 NIV
“Running the good race. Running the God race.”
~ My husband’s morning note to me today.
The Good Race (My poem in response):
Running this race
Together
No matter the storms
Our love woven with God
Will weather
All the seasons
We find ourselves in
For those who run
The God race
Always win.
