Keyword for 2004 "Patience"

God in His wisdom gave us marriage between one man and one woman.  God gave us families to love. Sometimes it takes a lot of “Patience” to achieve the JOY God wants us to share.

2004 has been a year of “patience” in our home.  “Patience” with our 13 year old doggie – Tio, as he sickened and died.  Patience with his pain, poor sight and hearing, and his passing. Now we are experiencing “Patience” with Simon, our new puppy.  His energy, curiosity, training, and teething require patience.  Each dog brought us much love and joy.

This is patience on a different level than the patience we must share with our loved one.  Patience with our loved ones is worth every effort.  There is nothing in this life that is more rewarding than living within a Godly marriage.  God’s love is our example.

Dear Father
Please, we pray in the name of Your Son, Jesus, be with, guide, and encourage each home across this beautiful world, show them the way to love each other with all the love, joy, peace, PATIENCE, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control available to mankind.  Amen”  

Have a truly joyous JOY DAY with each other.  Renew your commitment to each other, do something just for you two, and remember God loves you.
