27 years! It has been 27 years, from August 24th, 1982, to this day that Kay and I have been married. But the most amazing aspect of this is not the longevity of years. No, the truly amazing thing is that we are the very best of friends after all this time. We have remained together through some pretty amazing and incredible experiences. We met, married, and had both of our children all while living overseas, working in ministry together. As we returned stateside we struggled and scraped out a living. We got ourselves planted, uprooted, replanted, reinvented, tooled and retooled, jobbed and rejobbed (are those real words?) And through all the ups and downs and twists and turns we are by the mighty grace of God better friends than when we started...in 1982.
After 27 years, we do still look at each other from across the room and get all mushy, smile, then dive into each others arms, nearly breaking the furniture. We laugh together about the same things. We cry during the same scenes watching the same movies. We love the same foods (oh wow, do we love food!) We often finish each others thoughts. That is when we aren't reading each others' minds. And after 27 years all this still amazes us both. Kay and I have something very special between each other. A marriage of flesh and soul. We are "one flesh" as scripture says.
Thank you babe, for 27 glorious years of an amazing relationship built on amazing grace; yours and God's. I love you!
