My husband and I celebrated our 9 year wedding anniversary today and we have much to celebrate. Satan has done everything to destroy our marriage, our family. He has taken us to the verge of financial ruin; he has been the source of miscommunication, harsh words and hurt feelings; he caused the miscarriage of our first child, caused infertility issues, has placed disease on us and given us negative report after negative report. However, I PRAISE THE LORD for seeing us through the troublesome times and helping us honor our vows even during the bleakest days. He has given us nine years together and after nine years I can still say that I love the life my husband and I have created together, with God's help, and that I still love this wonderful man who walks beside me.
To celebrate our anniversary we rented a cabin on a nearby mountaintop. I rented a movie we had been wanting to see and brought the preparations for a wonderful meal. The elevation made the temperature about ten degrees cooler, so we were able to hike and rent bicycles. After all the activity was finished, we grilled steaks and had a candlelit dinner and then sat on the edge of the bluff and watched the sun set. It was beautiful! As darkness fell, we cuddled up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn to watch our movie. It was a happy day filled with loving words, holding hands, and stealing kisses. I can't wait for fifty more anniversaries just like it!
