Pray together, learn together and grow together - 24 years of grace and joy!
October 6, 2015:Today we have the privilege of celebrating our 24th wedding anniversary!
Together we have learned ...
- Love is not only found in the moments we look in each other's eyes; but also when we fix our eyes in the same direction - a common goal - and work together to achieve it.
- The most valuable contribution to a marriage is the constant encouragement of your partner to reach his / her full potential. This type of encouragement will naturally coincide with constructive criticism, sincere honesty and true pride in every step achieved.
- This life is already hard enough ... why would we then dare to start a day without asking God's guidance and protection or close a day off without saying thank you? Without our Savior, we cannot operate; we cannot remain strong and we refuse to continue one step further.
- Our most prized possessions are our children!
- Our favorite scripture: Matthew 9:36-28: "When he saw the crowds, he was deeply moved with compassion for them, because they were troubled and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he told his disciples, "The harvest is vast, but the workers are few. So ask the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest."
- Our biggest challenge is our calling in Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit, to strengthen God's people in their faith in Christ Jesus our Mediator, so that everyone can and will want to have a living relationship with Christ.
... And finally ... every day is but grace. Do your best and leave the rest up to God ...
Sit down with your spouse and analyze your marriage:
- What defines you as a couple?
- What makes your union as a couple precious?
- What can you contribute within your unity as a couple to this world?
Love in Christ!
Ps. Morné and Roné Fürstenburg
