MY WORD FOR AUGUST 6TH IS ANNIVERSARY!


MY WORD FOR AUGUST 6TH IS ANNIVERSARY

All of us have anniversaries.  The first thing you think of when you mention anniversary is a marriage.  The true meaning of anniversary is a day that commemorates or celebrates a past event that occurred on the same day of the year of the initial event.  Some anniversaries we love to celebrate, that of marriage, birth and happy experiences.  Yet some aren’t that joyful.  It may be of a death or of a breakup.  One thing is certain, no matter what the situation we usually always remember the date of an anniversary, or at least women do. 

As I was reading our church bulletin yesterday the words on the cover read, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Jesus was real, He wasn’t fake He was what He was, and He was the same everyday.    This sparked a mental note with me as I read it.  Today is our 24th wedding anniversary.  Gosh 24 years of experiences and situations.  We have had good and bad.  Things haven’t been the same from day one until now, however there are a few things that are the same.  We are still each other’s best friend, we love each other, and there isn’t anyone else we want to grow old with.  Some would say, knowing what all we have been through, how could you feel that way?  I would reply,  “just as Jesus something’s are always the same no matter what the circumstance.” 

Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.”

Dear Lord thank You for blessing us with years to celebrate anniversaries.  Many don’t get the opportunity to celebrate twenty-four years of experiences together.  We ask for Your help to always speak words that are both kind and loving and that are hearts are always ready to ask for forgiveness.  We appreciate You being the same everyday and for Your unchanging love for us.  During 2012 guide us to be more Christ like with our hearts staying close to You and unchanging.
