The time has flown by and in the process we have produced five children and they in turn have given us three grandchildren — so far. I don’t really have too much advice for newly married couples except to tell you to make sure you go to church together often. In my church on a Sunday the men meet separately for part of the time and quite often we will be reminded to honor and respect womanhood and to tell our wives that we love them.
And over the pulpit a couple will hear how debt is worse than the plague, how they should work hard, that they should nurture and provide for their family, and not rely on government.
So while most of the credit goes to Jill for making our marriage great, the Church and its supportive members have to be recognized for the great contributions they have made to our marriage.
Our favorite daughter-in-law honored us on her blog today over at Ada Shot Me.
Update
At the year of writing (2010) we had only one daughter-in-law. But now we have two more, also favorites.
My Dear Random Rickety Archives In Jesus Christ
Christian loving greetings to you in the most highly exalted name of our Lord
and Saviour Jesus Christ.
God has privileged me to introduce myself and my ministry to you through this. I
am pastor Reachel. I have been doing the service of the Lord for the last 10
years. The Lord has entrusted some churches to me. A few young brothers are
co-operating with me in the work of God. Our main purpose is Gospel Work.
There are many orphans in all our churches .Their condition is very pathetic. James
1:27 says, “To visit orphans in their trouble is pure and undefiled religion
before God, the Father.” I
am not a rich man to feed them. So, I am bringing their miserable condition to
your kind notice. Please pray for these orphaned children and extend your and in His your prayers .
All these children are conveying their loving greetings to you. Kindly keep them
in your precious prayers. I shall look forward to your kind Mail response prayerfully and hopefully.
Yours in Jesus Christ,
sister Reachel
My church helps orphans too through its adoption services ( https://itsaboutlove.org/ial/ct/adopting-families/?lang=eng ). I support the work they do and pray for all orphans.
