'Let marriage be held in honour among all...' (Hebrews 13:4)
Today my parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. 40 years that have seen the arrival of nine children and six grandchildren. 40 years in which God has been very, very good to them and us.
Anniversaries are a yearly reminder of God's grace - that two sinners, once deserving of death, have been saved by Christ and brought together by Him as a reflection of His future marriage with the church, His Bride.
A reminder that these two people are only still together because God is constantly sanctifying them so that they can learn to forgive each other's faults and love the other even more.
In a time when marriage is not valued as highly as it once was in society, when divorce is easily an future outcome - anniversaries are special.
And that's why we're so thankful to God for each one!
