If I'm correct, today is the 70th anniversary of my Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Keith -- happy anniversary! What an amazing story of faithfulness and dedication -- it's one that is written anew, every day, day after day. It's amazing how the days don't seem to pass quickly, and yet you look back and see how far you've traveled. Rachel and I will be married 15 years this June, and each day we take another step on our journey.
Discipleship is the same way -- each day we can make the choice to love, to serve, to worship. We don't realize it, but over the years, we grow in faithfulness and discipleship, day by day, and God is at work in us, transforming us. The wonderful thing about God's love, that we try and imitate in a marriage covenant, is that God is always there, always faithful, no matter what. Despite my shortcomings and failings and poor choices, God is every faithful, always there, choosing to say yes to us.
So let us celebrate the gift of covenantal love!
