My in-laws celebrated their fiftieth (50th) anniversary two days ago, an almost unheard of feat in this day and age. They have chosen that come what may, they would remain married no matter what, even after their daughter married someone like me.
I am sure there have been many ups and downs, joys and sorrows, happys and sads. I am sure there have probably been times that they wondered if they would make it through another day, much less fifty years. But, they have stayed the course, they have remained steadfast, loyal, faithful, dedicated. So, here's to Jerry and Mary Ann!
Today's word is a very familiar passage that is often used during wedding ceremonies. Matthew 19:6, NLT, reads, "Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what GOD has joined together."
I am not going to talk about divorce and giving up; I want to applaud those, who like my in-laws, my parents, have taken this verse to heart and haven't allowed anything to split them apart. My parents were married 53 years when my Pops passed. Now, Trishia's parents have been married 50. What a testament to us, their children.
Again, I just want to say, "Congratulations Jerry and Mary Ann!" I pray you see many, many more happy and blessed years of marriage!
Be Blessed,
Mickey T
