Last weekend was our 6th anniversary.... And Emma & I were away with Grandma in Masterton celebrating my Aunt & Uncles' 50th wedding anniversary which was lovely. Great seeing relatives I haven't seen in ages. Emma who is amazing us more & more by being more bold and not so shy,was great chatting away to anyone who spoke to her.
The other week Gail (who is a blogging queen) mentioned things her father in law had shared at her wedding - which encouraged me to look back on what was said at our wedding six years ago. My brother who is a youth pastor took our ceremony and he gave us a red rose to symbolize different things - (we still have that rose - its pretty dusty but its still in one piece...) Anyway these are the three things my wise old bro said...
1) A red rose stands for love - remember to passionately & unashamedly love each other. Be proud of each other - build the other person up whether their there or not. Let the words of your mouth build each other up.
2) Second thing to remember is that pruning produces growth... Prune back the pressures of life, prune back time so that your marriage may grow. Don't be ordinary be adventurous. Prune the old and do new things that cause you to grow together. Don't leave the small things untreated by quick to mend any fences that may appear in marriage.
3) And lastly... Remember the unseen. You may not be able to see the scent of a rose but its there - you may not be able to see God but he's there and only a prayer away!
Cool eh? In fact I think I might need to buy some roses today...
