Twenty Ninth Anniversary

This is a day to celebrate
When memories come back to mind
Every little thought provokes something
Never sadness just blessings to find
Twenty-nine is the magic number
Years that we've spent so much in love
Nothing can take these thoughts ever away
Indeed thank God for fitting us like a glove
Now we can look back with much fondness
There were wonderful days when we first met
Holding hands for that amazing first time
And in wonder still held in our net
Now our love has matured so deep
Never would we have believed so long ago
In our hearts connected so well together
Very obvious to each other to God we owe
Every echo of thankfulness for His grace
Resting on His mercy and love for us two
Such is the Lord's sovereign providence at work
At our wedding day, we gladly said I do 
Right now we agree all these years on
Yes is our word as to God we lean upon

(Yesterday was my wife Christine and I celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary, so I have written this acrostic on her card so thought I would share it too.)

Congratulations. Happy Anniversary. Whenever It was. It is a super accomplishment in this day and time for two people to stay together for any length of time. It is great when two people take what God has given them as a blessing. This was a fantastic tribute.
