Hello ,

29 years ago today, I walked down the aisle and waited for a girl named Roberta Taylor to make her way to the front of the little white church where I stood waiting for her.  I was nervous, and so was she, but when it was all over we had both said our "I do's" to each other.  

There are a number of things that i regret doing in my life, but still being married to this beautiful woman isn't one of them.  God has blessed me in so many ways through her, that this morning I can't help but be incredibly thankful that He placed her in my life path. 

Are you thankful for someone special in your life this morning?  It may not be a spouse, but perhaps a parent that is still living...or maybe someone is reading this who is not yet married, but will be soon.  Whomever you have in your life that makes your journey on planet earth a little more bearable, let me challenge you to bow your head and thank God for them.  

Isn't God good to us?  Happy Anniversary Roberta (Taylor) Temple!

Have a great day and God bless!

Pastor Mike / The Open Word
