“If there is only one chocolate biscuit left in the box, we will always share it”.
These were the words of the ninety-seven-year-old husband about his ninety sixty-year-old wife, as they were interviewed on morning television celebrating their seventy-fifth wedding anniversary this week.
We live in a world of the ‘short term’, when things are not expected to last very long and so it was exciting to know that some marriages can last.
It is very exasperating when we buy something which unfortunately doesn’t last and wears out much too quickly, costing a fortune to replace.
For the first thirty years of His earthly life, Jesus Christ lived with a carpenter and when old enough He worked in the workshop making and repairing the furniture for the neighbourhood.
For the last three years of His life here on earth He went around re-making and repairing the lives of the countless people who He met on His travels.
Today, many of us need that repairing and renewing in our lives and whilst we cannot see Him physically, we can come to Him in prayer and ask Him and He will not just give us ‘half a biscuit’ but the ‘whole biscuit’ to bring us ‘New Life’ through His salvation.
