The Girl In The Yellow Coat
It was her yellow raincoat that caught my attention, and quickly I became increasingly interested in this cute freshman with long, brown hair. Soon I worked up my courage, interrupted Sue as she walked along reading a letter from a guy back home, and awkwardly asked her for a date. To my surprise, she said yes.
More than 4 decades later, Sue and I look back and laugh at our first uncomfortable meeting on that college campusand marvel how God put a shy guy from Ohio together with a shy girl from Michigan. Through the years, we have faced innumerable crises together as we raised our family. Weve negotiated parenting four kids, and weve struggled mightily with losing one of them. Problems big and small have tested our faith, yet weve stuck together. It took commitment from both of us and the grace of God. Today we rejoice in Gods design, spelled out in Genesis 2:24to leave our parents, to be unified as man and wife, and to become united as one flesh. We cherish this amazing plan that has given us such a wonderful life together.
Gods design for marriage is beautiful. So we pray for married couples to sense how awesome it is to enjoy life together under the blessing of Gods loving guidance.
Lord, the first thing You organized during societys
earliest days was marriage. Thank You for how You
designed this amazing institution. Show me how to
help strengthen others in their marriage relationship.
Marriage thrives in a climate of love, honor, and respect.
: In Genesis 12 we see two tellings of the same story. Genesis 1 gives a sweeping overview of the creation of the universe, including the creation of the first human beings (Gen. 1:26-28). Genesis 2, however, describes more specifically the distinctive relationship the man and woman have with their Creator and their roles in His world.

It is amazing how some get the job done and don’t think about bravery or risk they just do it.

To: The Mayor
Thank you very much, Mayor, for today's Daily Bread. Thank you for your stalwart Witness to the Truth of God.
Your message regarding marriage is both timely and trenchant in light of the attacks against Matrimony presently unleashed. Monogamous heterosexual - i.e. normal - marriage is the most important underpinning of civil order. For many of us it is sacramental.
Thank you for sharing the anecdote of your meeting with Mrs. Mayor, and of the four decades of your wedded life.
Mrs. MacNessa and I are in our third decade of wedded bliss - Four children. We too have experienced loss - not the death of a child, but a different kind of loss - A child with developmental disabilities - autistic spectrum.
We are still together, still contributing and still in love as much as we were that day long ago when we first laid eyes on one another.
"Dia shábháil ar fad anseo!"
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
