Meditate—think on these things.
For the Christian wife brings holiness to
her marriage, and the Christian husband brings holiness to his marriage.
Otherwise, your children would not be holy, but now they are holy.

Corinthians 7:14

| Warden Community Church My home church growing up...and where I was married. |
Forty-eight years ago today I walked down
the aisle at my home church with a handful of friends and family attending to
see me marry this man that was the love of my life. Little did I
realize that he was indeed the chosen one. The one God chose for me…and we have
lived happily ever after. Well, mostly happily. My melancholy personality is
often difficult to get along with, but Jerry has been a great encouragement to
me…and I have done the same for him. In forty-eight years we each received a Master’s
Degree, visited all 50 states, have raised two wonderful children and now have
seven terrific grandchildren. We still
live together! We are blessed. We follow Jesus' command to love God and to love one another. We will keep on doing this…until
death do us part. We keep our promises to each other…and to God.
Paul writes some interesting advice to the
church at Corinth. He is talking about the same thing that many in our day are
continually talking about: For this world
as we know it will soon pass away. We would be wise to heed their
advice…because Jesus gave His followers a similar warning…Be Ready.
But let me say this, dear brothers and
sisters: The time that remains is very short. So from now on, those with wives
should not focus only on their marriage. Those who weep or who rejoice or who
buy things should not be absorbed by their weeping or their joy or their
possessions. Those who use the things of the world should not become attached
to them. For this world as we know it will soon pass away. 1 Corinthians
7:29-31
You also must be ready all the time, for the
Son of Man will come when least expected.
Luke 12:40
Are you ready? Or are you hiding your head
in the sand…or glued to your TV watching Netflix and YouTube continually?
Prayer ~ Thank You Lord God for my dear
husband…and for the time You have given us together. Continue to guide our
hearts, souls and minds that all we think, say, and do would be pleasing to You
and a good example to our family and friends. May we be ready at all times…to
give an account of the joy we have in You.
Verse of Salvation ~ I am overwhelmed with
joy in the LORD my God! For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation
and draped me in a robe of righteousness. I am like a bridegroom in his wedding
suit or a bride with her jewels. Isaiah 61:10
