The Best Days Of Your Marriage 10/7/2025

 Good Morning,

I am happy to say that I am wide awake this morning and my hot cup of Door County Autumn Spice Coffee is really working for putting me in a good place to start the day. 

Psalm 90:12 NKJV So teach us to number our days, That we may gain a heart of wisdom. 

I was thinking about being retired and enjoying life with my wife. We have both been retired for a couple of years now and we have taken some nice trips to cap off our retirement. But to say that our marriage boils down to a few trips and freedom to do lunch together isn't a fair assessment of our time together. 

I asked my wife Rene to pick out some times in our marriage that might have been the best days of our time together. She said that the thought of picking out a few days, or a couple years as being the best ones, was really making our marriage small.  

"Every day we have together has been an adventure and a blessing. Each fire in the hearth while watching the Christmas tree glow with way too many lights is a great day. Visits from our family or going to visit them is a great year. A few special moments doesn't allow for counting your non traditional Thanksgiving dinners.  A list of a few special days or years  just cheapens a wonderful life of all the years combined."

I said "what about the bad days? Rene replied," The bad days come and go and like the good days that we share, we never faced a bad day alone. We are there for each other. I dread the day when one of us will be alone." 

Friends, the best days of our life are just a snap shot of the blessings we can share with a spouse, family member, friends and don't forget God, who made the days. 

Have a blessed day.

Marty
