A couple of weeks ago we drove up to North Alabama to celebrate 60 years of marriage and a vow renewal with my grandparents-in law.  We all gather to celebrate young couples on their wedding day, and rightly so, but isn’t this where the real celebration should be?  The day in and day out with another for 60 years cannot all be pleasant.  What a testimony of love and perseverance from this marriage!

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous;  love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

1 Cor. 13:1-3
