A Time for Everything
“There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven—A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance.” Ecc 3:1-4
TODAY IS A TIME TO DANCE! A TIME TO CELEBRATE!! There are not many church families who can celebrate a couple’s 70th wedding anniversary.... BUT TODAY WE CAN!!! Sometime this afternoon, between the hours of 2- 4, go by and congratulate Richard and Margaret Burgess at the Pine Island Care Center for being married 7 decades. Amazing!!!
In a day and age where marriage is discounted, disregarded, destained, and disrupted...Richard & Margaret shine forth like a lighthouse on a rocky shore. Commitment...Commitment... and more Commitment; that’s what it takes (and more) to be married a lifetime. I am so proud of this couple and their family!
Solomon stated in Ecclesiastes chapter three that “There is an appointed time for everything.” However, Solomon, himself couldn’t hold a candle to the Burgess success in the marriage relationship category! Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines, and I’m sure, multiple failed relationships.
“As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not devoted to the Lord his God, as the heart of David his father had been.” 1 Kings 11:4
Richard and Margaret Burgess have not only been married 70 years but have remained faithful to the God who created them!
NOW THAT’S SOMETHING TO CELEBRATE!! GO GOD!
God is good all the time and all the time God is good! Mr. Steve
