Today Someone...My best Friend

Dear Lord,

Today someone prays for her best friend...

When I was still a young girl

With pony-tails in my hair,

Jesus gave me my best friend

With whom my life I'd share.

God knew the responsibilities

Of things I could not foresee,

So He sent a special person

To walk each step with me.

We were there for each other

Through times of family strife.

We studied hard together,

Preparing ourselves for life.

The wedding bells sounded

As down the aisle we walked.

Planning for our future,

We talked, and talked, and talked.

Our family was extended,

With babies one, two and three.

They have truly been blessings,

Our special gifts from Thee.

Lord You've walked beside us,

Every step of the way.

Your love resides within us,

You guide us when we stray.

Where the years have gone,

I really do not know.

But our love grows deeper

As along life's path we go.

Now I want to thank you

For your love so strong and true.

I would not be who I am today

If God hadn't given me you.

Happy Anniversary, to the love of my life!

Today, 3 April 2008, is our 26th Wedding Anniversary.

I can truly say that God has blessed me with the most wonderful husband and father to our children.

Marriage, like life, is not always easy...it is something you have to work at.

Never put your partner down to others or to their face, we are all human and we all make mistakes from time to time, and it is in those times we need the support of our partner, not ridicule.

Never go to sleep angry with each other, always try to resolve any misunderstanding you may have encountered in the day before you go to bed.

Kiss your partner and tell him you love him every day. (or her)

Stand by each other in sickness and in health, in prosperity and adversity, in happiness and in grief.

Spend quality time together, with family and with friends.

Remain best friends, laugh together, share secrets, hold hands and continue making plans for your future.

Uphold your partner in prayer before God and ask Him to bless each day of your marriage.
