“How happy are those who fear the Lord— all who follow his ways! You will enjoy the fruit of your labor… How rich your life! Your wife will be like a fruitful vine, flourishing within your home. And look at all those children! There they sit around your table as vigorous and healthy as young olive trees. That is the Lord’s reward for those who fear him. May the Lord continually bless you … May you live to enjoy your grandchildren…” (Psalm 128:1-6 NLT).
Robin and I celebrated our 30-year anniversary last week. I surprised her with a trip to Niagra Falls (Sorry guys. I know this raises the bar for all of you.).
The whole time we were there I couldn’t get over how much God has blessed us. Our marriage, our children, our grandchildren, our church family, and the opportunity to get away and enjoy one another and God’s creation… I was overwhelmed.
While reading the One Year Bible entry earlier this week, I discovered a psalmist who must have have felt the same. He describes better than I can what experiencing God’s blessings over the past 30 years have been like.
Thank you God for “continually” blessing us!
Now there is two beautiful things that the Lord has created, both Gary and Robin and The Falls. congrats you two.
I was 7 years old 30 years ago! 🙂
Which is why you should look up to me, young Mike. After all, I have blue jeans in my closet your age (yes, with bell-bottoms).
