1 Chronicles 29:13 (New King James Version)
13 “Now therefore, our God,We thank You
And praise Your glorious name.
Thankful Thursday, we are thankful every day, about everything about our circumstances, we are living a rich (in Him) and fulfilling life. It is difficult to decide what to write about.
Seeing the theme of our hostess' site reminded me about when we wanted to marry. Firstly when we were on our own, unbeknown to the other we each had a list of what we were looking for in a partner. I had been by myself for four years and had only a few weeks before thought and prayed for a man friend, that was top of the list, and when I met Barry it took a while to realise his romantic interest in me. We met on a yacht in Fame Cove, but that is another story. And yes, 26 years later he is my best friend.
But what I was going to say, was that when we went to the minister at my church he grilled Barry about his beliefs to see that we would be equally yoked as he felt a responsibility before God that we would stay together, before he agreed to marry us. I recently heard (through Facebook) that the Minister was returning to America, and I contacted him and told him that we are together and happy and he was pleased to hear from us and be friends.

It's true, Jan. Life is so very, very
rich in Christ that it really is hard
to know what to write about day to day.
My blessings are so great I feel almost
overwhelmed--in a wonderful way! Such
abundance! Such grace! Such love!
Have a glorious day in Jesus,
Sandy
Hi Jan - this is my first visit to your blog (and I will be back to read more).
Wonderful story about your marriage. My husband and I will be married 26 years this June. We've been through good times and bad, sickness and health, but through it all our love has remained strong.
Blessings to you today! (I would love to visit Austrailia someday.)
It is such a gift to have your husband as your best friend. twenty six years is a long time to be married in this day and age. Congratulations.
I enjoyed your post and that is a sweet story you shared...will add my congratulations, too!
