God Honours Marriage

To celebrate our thirtieth wedding anniversary, Brian and I stayed two nights at a beautiful bed-and-breakfast retreat privately located on 150 acres in Rocky Mountain House.

The property bordered on Prairie Creek where trout could be seen cruising in its crystal clear waters.

As well, there were deer nibbling on the leaves and buds of trees nearby.

The weather was perfect. The sky was a brilliant turquoise blue and the temperature was warm with the sweet gentleness of a cool breeze.

Our get-away was quiet and serene. Only the chorus of the birds and the bubbling flow of the creek's water could be heard.

The food was delicious at the quaint but elegant restaurant, which was located right next to the lodging. There we received a special gift from God that He had preordained to honour our wedding anniversary: when Brian and I sat down to have our first dinner meal at the restaurant, and as we quietly sipped the quenching water from our glasses and innerly thanked God for all His blessings, to our shocked but wonderful surprise, our wedding song, "You Light Up My Life", began to play. Indeed, God honours marriage for only He knew why we were there and what song was sung at our wedding.

"Let marriage be held in honour among all."

Hebrew 13:4 (ESV)
