On Saturday, August 27, Debbie and I will have celebrated 480 months
of marriage (that’s 40 years). She was only 19 when we were wed. I was the
old man at 22. I had just graduated from Harding University and had secured
a job working at my home congregation as a youth minister. I made $200 a
week. Our apartment cost $200. We didn’t have a car so I rode my bicycle.
We had few bills but had it not been for the close location of my parents we
may have starved on a few occasions. We weren’t very concerned with
money and didn’t mind having a little. It meant we had to spend more time
together.
Today that congregation no longer exists, but our marriage has grown
from that modest beginning. We have been through a lot together, but “As
iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” (Proverbs 27:17).
In many ways we are better people than when we first started together.
We depend on each other more. We can read each other’s thoughts at times.
We are comfortable with each other. Perhaps too comfortable. We are not as
daring to try new things. Then, everything was new so it was normal. I’m not
saying we don’t like doing new things. We kinda like this grandparent gig.
God has certainly blessed me.
Proverbs 5:18 “May your fountain be blessed, and may you rejoice in the wife of your
youth.”
Just Pondering
p.s. Congratulations to other newly weds celebrating their Anniversary: Garry and
Judy Sage, Mike and Sandra Young and Steve and Mary Cardinal.
Paul’s Ponders
Salmos 100:1-5
Habitantes de toda la tierra, griten con todas sus fuerzas: ¡Viva Dios!
¡Adórenlo con alegría! ¡Vengan a su templo lanzando gritos de felici-
dad!
Reconozcan que él es Dios; él nos hizo, y somos suyos. Nosotros so-
mos su pueblo: ¡él es nuestro pastor, y nosotros somos su rebaño!
Vengan a las puertas de su templo; ¡denle gracias y alábenlo!
Él es un Dios bueno; su amor es siempre el mismo, y su fidelidad
jamás cambia.
Yo soy tu hermano Gilberto.......
