How I Love Thee, Let Me Count the Ways......

A couple in our church is getting ready to celebrate their 60th year of marriage. That is unfathomable because Ally and I are getting ready to celebrate 5 weeks of marriage. The incredible source of grace and joy and refinement that has come in this short time only makes me wonder what it will be like in a couple months, in a couple years, and in a couple of decades. To the best of my ability, I have a deep love for Ally but in 5 years from now I will look back and see the superficial love I have for her right now. She truly is the grace of life and a source of joy. These are 10 reason why I love her and am so thankful she is the wife that God is graciously letting me borrow for the coming years.
