Just got back from my 17th anniversary dinner with Cheryl at our favorite restaurant in town. We had a nice lunch together as the rain poured down and we ate under covered roof to the sound of rain dripping and splashing in the nearby puddles. The rain seemed to set the rhythm for our unforced and delightful conversation. What a ride it has been and I'm more in love with you than the day we made this thing official. I think I will just let King Solomon say what my words would fail to say. This is for you sweetie.
A good woman is hard to find, and worth far more than diamonds. Her husband trusts her without reserve, and never has reason to regret it. Never spiteful, she treats him generously all her life long. Her clothes are well-made and elegant, and she always faces tomorrow with a smile. When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly. She keeps an eye on everyone in her household, and keeps them all busy and productive. Her children respect and bless her; her husband joins in with words of praise: "Many women have done wonderful things, but you've outclassed them all!" Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades. The woman to be admired and praised is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-GOD.
I really like the line- "she treats him generously all her life long"- it really says so clearly how you treat me.
Thanks for the 17 years and Lord willing we will enjoy the next 17 as well.
Information, audio sermon files, short writings about faith and life and how these two intersect, photos, and more.
