A Special Note on My Wife

House and wealth are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from Jehovah. Proverbs 19:14, RecVer

Today, my wife enters a new year in her physical life again. As a matter of fact, we generally don't celebrate birthday in a worldly way. What we generally do is, we thank and praise the Lord for His faithfulness and blessings all these years and pray together as a family. The focus on such occasion is Christ who is our life, our living, and our all in all.

In my Bible reading time today, the Lord impressed me with His words concerning my wife from Proverbs 19:14. A prudent wife is from Jehovah! I have been blessed by the Lord all these years with a prudent wife! Together with the Lord's grace and blessings, our family has been under the Lord’s sovereign blessing. Health and wealth may have been inherited as the Lord graciously allows, but a prudent wife is only from the Lord.

On this day too, I thank and praise the Lord for giving me my wife, a blessed favor from the Lord. As a token of gratitude, I purchased a cake of my wife's choice. And to make it more meaningful, I also took her to purchase a new pair of eye glass, the need of the moment, of the best quality available from a lens company. Along with it, I also got a new eye glass for myself, to make it more memorable. In all these practical things, we make life memorable.

Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, And obtains favor from Jehovah. Proverbs 18:22, RecVer

Truly, in all these twenty years of our marriage life, I can testify that I have obtained a special favor from Jehovah for He gave me a good and prudent wife. Throughout the years, I have been experiencing and enjoying a wonderful marriage life, together with a fruitful and joyful family life. It has been confirmed to me, time and gain, that my wife indeed has been the perfect will of the Lord for me. Therefore, I exhorted the young ones whenever I was given the opportunity, to seek and resolve to do only the perfect will of the Lord, especially, for their future marriage.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, and praise You for my wife! Continue to preserve and prosper this marriage life all the days of our lives.
