Today I am celebrating 7 years of marriage with my amazing wife! It is incredible to think back to the days of our engagement and all the dreams that we had and to how God has led us and blessed us these years. In many ways today I feel like I am still learning what it means to love her and to be loved. This morning I read this in a book that was very helpful to me during our engagement:
“To keep a vow, means not to keep from breaking it, but rather to devote the rest of one’s life to discovering what the vow means, and to be willing to change and to grow accordingly.” (Mike Mason, The Mystery of Marriage).
O for the grace and humility to keep doing just that, today, tommorrow, and until the Lord brings us home! I cannot thank God enough for a wife who is patient with me and has forgiven me more than humanly possible. God has been so kind!
