I still do.

Because Valentine's Day fell on a Sunday this year, our pastor took the opportunity to preach a message on marriage. The message was a great reminder of how we should show our spouse how much we love and appreciate them on a daily basis. Then, at the end of the service, he invited all of the married couples to renew their vows -right then and there. Since I was on nursery duty that weekend, I usually need to leave the service early to get ready for when the parents come pick up their kids. But, I felt it was important for Matt and I to say our vows to each other again. Even though we first said them just over three years ago, it was wonderful to hold hands, look into each others' eyes, and repeat them to each other yet again. I still mean what I said then and I will always mean it for as many years as the Lord gives us together.

I still do.

What a wonderful idea that was, and it's great to know that in these troubled times, there's still couples who love each other, and can promote their joy.
You set a great example!
