One of my favorite authors is Oswald Chambers,
in his biography he tells of his unique marriage:
"They encouraged each other by walking individually with God
and finding His grace sufficient to meet their needs.
Together, their lives intertwined into a cord of shared ministry
that was stronger than either could have woven alone."
A Marriage Blessing
May the Lord make your union more
than just a marriage of two hearts in love.
May it shine as a lighthouse for spiritual rest...
a loving retreat, and a welcome place for understanding.
May others searching for refuge find its beacon
strong and steady...with golden rays,
like Heaven's arms of comfort and security.
May you always stand committed - two servants
as one after God's own heart.
Rebecca Barlow Jordan
May your marriage be a refuge of love
for each other
and a light that leads others to Jesus.
"Let your light so shine...
that they may see your good deeds
and praise your Father in Heaven."
Matthew 5:16
"Then make My joy complete
by being like-minded, having the same love,
being one in spirit and of one mind."
Philippians 2:2
I thought we would hang our Heart & Keeper banner.
When we made quilts for each one of the girls for their high school graduation
I saved material from each quilt and made this banner,
it usually hangs in my office and makes me very happy :)

"...Cling to that which is good.
Be devoted to one another in love.
Honor one another above yourselves.
Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor,
serving the Lord. Be joyful, patient in afflictions, faithful in prayer."
