54 YEARS

Here we are — 54 years ago. Of course there have been ups and downs as in any marriage or in any relationship for that matter. But we are growing old together and I think we're just about there (old).  Thank you, God, and thank you Clif for a great 54 years. Our kids took us to Hawaii to celebrate our 50th. Our daughter says they are talking about taking us back for our 60th. Wow, I like that idea. Besides blessing us with each other, God has blessed us with a wonderful daughter and  a wonderful son. In fact, we have been blessed in so many ways that I couldn't even begin to count them.

I'm glad God instituted marriage. Here are a few scriptures on that subject. 

1. Genesis 2:24
   That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.

You really cannot improve on God's plan although people do keep trying to change it. 

I posted the following video/book a couple of years ago but thought I'd share it again.
