Ten years!

We are celebrating ten years of marriage today!! 💕🙏💍

In listening to a podcast just now, I heard the speaker say (paraphrased here), "Who are you? What are God's promises to me? My body is not broken. That is not God's truth. You have given me the cross to carry not to suffer but so that God is redeeming it and so that I may draw closer to His heart."

These last ten years of marriage have provided ample opportunities to grow closer to one another and to God's Heart.

"True love demands getting out of oneself, giving oneself. Genuine love brings joy in its wake, a joy that has its roots in the shape of the Cross." - St. Josemaria Escriva

The above thoughts are making our song after Communion during our wedding mass have even more special meaning than it did on that day: At the Foot of the Cross.

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of my spouse, for the vocation of marriage and family, and for this day. This is the day the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad!
