The Golden Tomorrow

Today is the Tomorrow that you dreamed of Yesterday

And so it will be until the end of Time.

This Day then is Your Day of Opportunity.

 

Are You Listening?

How long has it been since you took the time to just sit in silence anticipating to hear His voice?

A Wedding is a Day but a Marriage is a Lifetime.

In July 1964 we spent our honeymoon at the seaside town of Great Yarmouth England and here we are 51 years later 3000 miles away celebrated the anniversary of our wedding in the seaside town of Ocean Grove New Jersey. 

A lot of living, traveling and experiences in between to say the least!

While in Ocean Grove we attended a Kenny Roger’s concert where he sang a song to cover it all. “Through the Years” In fact it was the song we used last year at our 50th celebration party.

I can’t remember when you weren’t there

When I didn’t care for anyone but you

I swear we’ve been through everything there is

Can’t imagine anything we’ve missed

Can’t imagine anything the two of us can’t do

Through the years                                             

You’ve never let me down

You turned my life around

The sweetest days I’ve found

I’ve found with you

Through the years

I’ve never been afraid

I’ve loved the life we’ve made

And I’m so glad I’ve stayed

Right here with you

Through the years

Through the years

When everything went wrong

Together we were strong

I know that I belonged

Right here with you

Through the years

I never had a doubt

We’d always work things out

I’ve learned what love’s about

By loving you

Through the years

Truly a WEDDING is only an experience for a DAY 

BUT

A MARRIAGE is an experience for a LIFETIME 

Our Secret to a Long and Happy Marriage

July 1964

Keeping romance alive, honest, open communication, companionship by sharing each others’ passions and hobbies and lastly but by no means least the union of two awfully good forgivers. We are brother and sister in the Lord, we are friends and we are lovers

Only 6% of marriages last 50 years or more according to several US Census reports. As John and I celebrate our 51st wedding anniversary today we are so thankful to be part of that 6% and give honor to God who has graced us over the years since 18th July 1964. We are what society today call “Lifers” It truly has been a triune commitment between John, myself and the Lord.

When we left for our honeymoon back in 1964 it was on a motorcycle and sidecar and 51 years later we are still riding a motorcycle! Attending a motorcycle rally this past week we came across this motorcycle and sidecar. What memories!

Genesis 2:22-24 Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.”  For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.

CHALLENGE – May seeds from the harvest of our story bear fruit in your marriage today!

Be Encouraged Today!

After many years of emotional breakdown, several serious health issues and dryness in my soul, the Lord reminded me this morning to trust Him for an end like Job’s, who was blessed abundantly after his time of testing.

The Lord fed my faith this morning with 1 Peter 5:10 and I believe it is also for someone out there today.

“But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you.”
