Of Unbroken Marriage Vows

Today is my parent's 60th Wedding Anniversary... On Saturday Mom and Dad, along with all children and spousesenjoyed a day of celebration of God's goodness,in the blessing of the milestone of 60 years of marriage! And no, the waters have not always been calm and sun-sparkled!They have weathered many a self-sacrificing storm. Happy 60th Anniversary, Mom and Dad!So thankful for you! No beauty in the world compares to love that stands the test of timeA yoke weathered by creature cares through vows uttered in youth’s green primeWhere none, as God joins heart to heart, with love’s solemn ‘from this day forth’Can know how far ‘till death doth part’ will undo Heaven’s best on earth For, when love is patient and kind, and when it does not seek its ownThere is nothing that we can find worth more (save faith’s sound Cornerstone)To ground love’s house built on the Rock, an anchor for the storms we faceTo help us in our walk and talk to be examples of God’s grace For it is by His grace love bears and believes and endures all thingsA Threefold Cord; nothing compares to the strength this awareness bringsWhere, by the mystery of God two become one, till death doth partLet not man put asunder what marriage vows have joined, heart to heart For nothing in the world compares to love that withstands living’s testA recompense of humble prayers, of lessons learned through forgivenessTo bring honor and glory to He who is a most faithful FriendAnd helps Husband and Wife to be loving and faithful to the end Dear Mom and Dad… God, bless and keep, protect and guide you on this special day, and thenFrom this day forth may He provide love and faith’s sacred need, amenWhere, though much in this world is broken, may what time weathers and bowsBy God’s grace be love’s faithful token of Unbroken Marriage Vows © Janet Martin Num.6:24-26 “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord []lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’
