My husband and I were recently doing a pre-marital counseling session with a young engaged couple and talking about how taking time away for each other was very important to the health of their marriage. We shared some of the things and outings we have done to keep our marriage strong. One of those things was to take a cruise every 5 years, and how this year (our 35 anniversary) we were excited to celebrate with our son and his wife for the birth of our first granddaughter in California.
At the end of 7 weeks of counseling the young couple thanked us with a blessing of a Caribbean cruise. We were so surprised that we couldn’t speak. I kept looking at the papers without being able to speak a word and handed the papers to Jim. They said they wanted us to be able to have our cruise for our 35 anniversary.
JIm performed the wedding ceremony for the couple on November 7, and on November 9 we embarked on our 35 anniversary gift of a cruise for the Bahamas. Our time together was wonderful and refreshing.
God truly does care about every single little detail in our lives. Things that we may think are too small to be bringing before Him; He wants to hear us ask. JIm and I mentioned to each other how we would wait and go on our cruise next year; yet God enjoyed blessing us through two very precious people on this our 35 year of marriage. God is so good, and I am truly thankful.
