Flying the Banner High


You led me to your banquet room and showered me with love.

Song of Solomon 3:4 (NKJV)


I think I am in trouble. This is a plea for help, because I am not sure what to do. Really. You see, next year is our 25th wedding anniversary. This is a biggie. I can’t mess this one up. Kris deserves a real “showering of love.”

I am not a great planner. Hate to admit it, but it is true. Fortunately, June 17th is a ways away, but I could use some help.

The thing that concerns me the most is this: she deserves the best! When I think how she has listened to me and responded to me and helped me … and the boys (all those diapers, all those surgeries and hospital visits and school activities and of course a million tons of laundry) … well … she is impressive! In spite of all my faults, and especially my inability to do handiwork like her dad, she has remained faithful and true, helpful and encouraging.

So … any ideas? How can I “shower her with love”? How can I show her appreciation for the respect she has shown as a steadfast wife and a caring mom?

I would love to surprise her and I know she would enjoy that—she absolutely loves being served and treated like a princess. So … any thoughts about the perfect celebration spot? Well ... think on that, would you? If anything comes to mind give me a call. If I get this one right, there’s a good chance we'll make it to our 50th too! :-)

For now, I’m looking forward to next year when I hope to hear her tell someone, “Our anniversary? It was sooooo good. Craig showered me with love!”


Lord, thanks for waking me with this thought. The time is now to plan ahead, to celebrate our love.
