Genesis 2:18

The Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18

My parents celebrated 50 years of marriage today.   

While much of it has been truly wonderful, there also have been challenging times….six children born in the first decade of their marriage, a house fire in which they lost all of their belongings, and the loss of loved ones, parents and siblings, to name a few.  Of course, God is with us in our trials, but having a suitable helper is truly a gift from Him to aid us in life.  I thank the Lord every day for them and pray that He will continue to bless them.
