Happy 8th Anniversary!!

i cannot believe that we have made it past the "7 year itch", tee hee!
it has been quite a ride these past 8 years! i am so grateful that Our
Gracious & Merciful Lord has seen fit to bring this family together &
to watch over us, guide us, and Bless our Marriage...
i know, for certain, if it weren't for Divine Intervention, we would not
be celebrating today, and it is one of those things on the top of my
Gratitude List that i thank Him for daily!
Lord, thank you, once more for the gifts you have showered upon such
an unworthy soul as mine...

some words of encouragement that have helped me from a book i am currently reading:

The Excellent Wife by Martha Peace

The husband as spiritual leader of the family and "fellow heir to the grace of life"

is to help his wife grow and mature as a Christian (1 Peter 3:7).

The wife as a "helper suitable" is also to help her husband grow and mature

as a Christian (Genesis 2:18).
