The Beauty of Marriage
How beautiful, then, the marriage of two Christians, two who are one in hope, one in desire, one in the way of life they follow, one in the religion they practice. They are as brother and sister, both servants of the same Master. Nothing divides them, either in flesh or in spirit. They are, in very truth, two in one flesh; and where there is but one flesh there is also but one spirit. They pray together, they worship together, they fast together; instructing one another, encouraging one another, strengthening one another. Side by side they visit God’s church and partake of God’s Banquet; side by side they face difficulties and persecution, share their consolations. They have no secrets from one another; they never shun each other’s company; they never bring sorrow to each other’s hearts.

Kev and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary yesterday! I awoke to coffee, flowers and a new camera (although the picture below is from our old one)! Three years ago I was working at Pack Rat, Kev was on staff at Hephzibah as their Rec Minister and we had no clue the next three years would include ministries in both Charlotte and Atlanta. I really like Tertullian's quote above and as I read it, I was reminded of God's goodness towards me as He has given me a precious, God-fearing husband whom I love so very much! Our evening was spent with some of our high school youth at our weekly Bible Study at the Martin's. We had yummy taco soup for dinner and tons of cookies/coffee for dessert. It was a blessing!
