We attended our cousin's wedding today. They are such a sweet couple.
It reminded SH and I that we have indeed been through 12 years together. We thank God for his love and his grace, placing and keeping us together. There are ups and there are downs but God made us one. In our imperfectness, we are perfect for each other
I like these household codes in Colossians 3:18-24. Abide by it and for years and years to come, we will be delighted with each other and at peace with one another.
Firstly, wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Secondly, husbands, love your wives, and do not be harsh with them.
Thirdly, children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord.
Fourthly, fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.
Fifthly, slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
