I giggled when I saw this picture, because we've had frequent summer
showers. The sky's poured rain like sand from a dump truck. In the midst
of the weather, Chuck and I celebrate 37 years of marriage this month,
starting with massages last night, continuing with a B & B tonight,
and ending with horseback riding tomorrow, providing the showers hold
off.
But then, maybe we could don our umbrellas and ride anyway! Perhaps ride
together with one heart-shaped umbrella covering us. Might be a bit
awkward, but isn't marriage that way at times?
Awkward. Messy. Uncomfortable.
With this anniversary, we purpose once again to hide ourselves under the
umbrella of God's love, committed to working toward a common goal:
share His love through our relationship, so that those around us might
catch a glimpse of Him, maybe even ask what makes our marriage so
special.
With a smile, we'll tell them.
Christ's power working in and through us keeps us united. Keeps us
loving. Keeps us pressing on to know Him and know one another, through
the ups and through the downs.
All the way to the finish line.
Our couple motto: To 50 and beyond!
