9 years in less than 1 hour

Pensieri: It merits reflection that Alison and I can call tomorrow our 9th wedding anniversary. Together we share 9 years of marriage, 8 years of parenting, 5 children, 3 career changes, 2 moves, and 1 Master's degree in our account.

Marriage is indeed an amazing gift from God. I am continually thankful for Alison's unconditional love for me. The contrast of the beautiful act of marriage and the wretched ugliness of sin stand out as the greatest contrast in the Christian marriage covenant. Alison has stood by me through thick and thin, especially as the years have gotten progressively harder. Someone once promised me that our 30s would be the best time of our married life together. I pray that this person was right, because the end of our 20s has been very difficult.

Preghiere: Lord God, grant us a very blessed 10th year of marriage. Please help us to climb out of debt and see greater victory over sin this upcoming year, especially over despair, fear and unbelief. Give us grace to cling to You for victory in our callings as parents to our children and slaves of Christ. Please provide in abundance for our physical, spiritual and emotional needs this year!

In short, continue to be gracious to us by helping us to die to our flesh and live by faith in Christ!

Thank you in advance for Your desire to do us good and to prosper us for Your gloria.

Cantare e parlare per la gloria di Dio!

Kevin
