Marriage

I am thinking about my marriage right now...I am so blessed to have been married to a wonderful man for almost 27 years -- and he is my one and only. What have I done to deserve such a gift from God? As I am thinking about marriage -- I think about why God has allowed me to spend time on this earth with someone like my Ted and as I reflect on these past years I know that I have become a better person because of my life with Ted.
Ted has only completed me and made me appreciate what it means to work hard, to be content with what God provides for us and to humble myself before the Father. I guess what I am trying to say is that God has given me a husband that is so much like Himself that I have not realized that fact at times because I am always so preoccupied with myself. Isn't that the way we are so much of the time?
My prayer will be that my son Joshua as he prepares to marry Lydia -- will be this: Father, please help Joshua to model his life after you first, and then after his daddy...because what a wonderful example you have given him -- Praise you, Lord!!
