63 Years

Mom and Dad celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary yesterday. I asked them what their key to success was. Their first answer was, "I don't know", but then they got on a roll.

Mom said, "Start early (she was 15) and live a long time. Hang in there. Don't give up." Dad said, "Believe in Jesus." Mom agreed.

I felt one more of their insights was noteworthy. They said neither of their families had a history of divorce. It simply wasn't in the family. Insightful.

I'm grateful for Mom and Dad. They have been awesome parents. I pray the Lord will give us many more years together.
