Tying the Knot

Tying the Knot

Make it strong, make it square

and so each other’s burdens bear

A threefold cord, a sturdy knot

no effort should be spared

Bind it tight, make it sure

the lifeline’s always there

If it frays, needs repair

splice lovingly, with care

Be careful how you tend it

Be vigilant to mend it

Do not let it slip

Once two cords now but one

pull together ’till work’s done.

Wishing every newly married couple many years of growing together to create that unbreakable bond of love and service, made all the stronger with their Maker as the third cord at the core of their relationship.
We are mid-way through year 45 together and remembering the struggles overcome, the joys we have shared, and the future that we will face with the comfort of knowing we will meet the challenges arm-in-arm.
