I would like to thank you all for your prayers and thoughts for my family during these trying times. Well with that being said its time for me to get back to work.
During the holidays people tend to get and send out many greeting cards. If you go to any greeting card store you realize that the card industry has printed cards for every topic and occasion you can think of.
There are cards for Christmas, New Years, Birthday, Get well I even saw one congratulating someone on the results of their new plastic surgery.
Well with the card industry trying to make money with every topic I found it kind of strange that not even Hallmark has a card celebrating divorce, adultery, or walking our on your family. Now if the money hungry greeting card industry doesn't even want to mention these topics can you imagine how God looks at it?
Think about it. There are no, "congratulations for abandoning your spouse and children" cards. There are no, " you are a great person to have fun with in secret but not good enough to be seen in public" cards. No, " Happy anniversary for the day I first cheated on my spouse and started living in sin and shame" cards.
Most of the greeting cards celebrate the family. The Spouse. The Mothers and Fathers. The Children. The anniversary of your wedding. Its kind of refreshing to know that in a money hungry, extreme liberal, "any topic for money" industry like greeting cards, that even they respect the sanctity of marriage and family.
Now even though todays message was meant to be light hearted the praying for the restoration of our marriages and families is not light hearted. God has called us to stand for the sanctity of what He put together, for the salvation of our spouses, and to trust in Him for our every need.
Today is the last day of 2008. Lets remember to use this day to praise our Lord for all the blessings we received this past year regardless of the hardships. Lets remember that just because we didn't receive the specific blessings we prayed for doesn't mean we have been denied those blessings.
2009 is upon us. Lets start the year off strong believing that our miracles are still coming from the Lord and our spouses are on the way home.
Stand. Fight. Pray.
Oh by the way, 2008 is still here for another day. Lets all pray in agreement on this last day for our spouses salvation and restoration of our marriages. You never know, 2008 may just go out with a miracle.
