Twenty years ago on this very day,
We were wed in this church.
These are my vows I renew with you:
I promise to stand faithfully by your side
And support you in any way.
I will love you, as always,
With all my heart, soul and spirit.
You are the special one God blessed me with;
An answer to a heartfelt prayer.
My life with you has been filled with constant joy.
Each day with you blossoms in a new awakening,
Like a young flower fresh with dew.
You are my miracle, the one the Lord gave to me.
You help me to grow and gave me my wings
So I could soar with the eagles and realize my dreams.
You showed me God's love and a love all your own.
I thank the Lord everyday you chose
Me to be your help mate and wife,
As together, we go through life.
Thank you for marrying me twenty years ago.

As I read my wedding vows of renewal out loud that evening on 12-28-2005, my soft voice trembled and tears came to my eyes. My hands shook. I realized that words couldn't adequately express my love and feelings I have for you yet still. As I finished, there wasn't a dry eye in the chapel, not even the reverend could resist a few tears. Even I cried.
Yet these vows only speak of a smidgen on how I feel. I honor you, my beloved husband, everyday. With you God has given me a glimpse of His love, in the love I feel for you my darling beloved and the love for me I feel flowing from you. Each day gets even better than the ones before them. We have been married over 25 years now. My time with you truly is the best part of my life. You are the best part of my life.
