No better example.

Chris and Stacey will have been married 25 years tomorrow. I have learned so much in my own marriage (and failed marriage) but they have taught me more through theirs. They have been married the longest of any of my siblings. I am honored to have shared those 25 years with them. The lives they have touched are countless. They are two of the most generous people I know. So far they have produced 3 children, one grandson and many many foster children. I don't even know how many people they have brought into the family of believers in God by their example. Their home has an "Open Door Policy" welcoming anyone and everyone. Satan has tried his hardest to destroy their marriage but I can tell you that he hasn't won yet and I don't believe he ever will.

Dear God, You knew what You were doing 25 years ago by bringing Stacey into our family. I consider her one of my best friends. Thank you for showing me another miracle when I look at the picture of my beautiful brother and his wife smiling again. It makes me love You more and makes me want to keep Believing You. Keep protecting their marriage and showing them that their marriage is their testimony, that You can be trusted and that all things are possible when they put You #1. Help them to look at each other the way they did 25 years ago, and to be kind to each other. In Jesus' name, Amen.
