Today my parents are celebrating their 41st anniversary. Cowboy's parents will celebrate their 41st anniversary next month. For me this means we have been given a great gift--the gift of our parents' examples of lasting marriages.
In a world full of people who don't keep their vows to God and each other, mine and Cowboy's parents are a testimony to God and His faithfulness to His people. Their marriages reflect God's love and forgiveness to His people.
A few weeks ago my mother-in-law told me of a friend of hers whose parents were going through a divorce. I very firmly told she and my father-in-law, "If either one of you ever choose to divorce the other, I'll shoot you dead." We all got a good laugh, but seriously! I can't imagine what that would do to my husband, me, my kids, or the other member of that marriage!
Today I'm just thankful for these awesome marriages!
