Symanzik Family Update

18 years ago I'd written a song for Kurt, for our wedding, based on Proverbs 31, Ecclesiastes 4 and Ephesians 5.

Our marriage has had many joys and blessings, seasons of traveling rough roads, wonderful adventures (including our current life here in the Philippines),......

I am thankful that God gave Kurt to me for my husband and friend.

And this still is "My Prayer"................

MY PRAYER TO GOD AS I STAND BEFORE YOU TODAY,
IS TO BE AN EXCELLENT WIFE. SO THAT YOUR HEART CAN TRUST IN ME AND HAVE MUCH GAIN,
I VOW TO DO YOU GOOD AND NOT EVIL ALL OF MY DAYS.

I PRAY TO MY FATHER AS I NOW BECOME YOUR WIFE,
THAT IN ALL MY WAYS I HONOR HIM AND YOU. I'LL GIRD MYSELF WITH STRENGTH AND
LOOK WELL TO ALL OUR WAYS, I PRAY TO BE THE HELPMEET FOR YOU HE NEEDS ME TO BE.

THROUGH ALL THE CHANGES THAT ARE BOUND TO COME OUR WAY, I VOW MY LOVE TO YOU. WITH JESUS AS MY STANDARD, STRONG IN HIM I'LL STAY. A GENTLE QUIET SPIRIT, FOR HIM TO CREATE IN ME, I PRAY; HONORING HIM AND YOU, IN LOVE.

AND TODAY, I MARRY MY BEST FRIEND. MAN AND WIFE, BEGINNING WITH NO END. A THREE STRAND CHORD WILL NOT BE BROKEN AS WE STAND FAITHFUL IN JESUS CHRIST. MY FRIEND, I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!

I PRAY TO MY FATHER AS I NOW BECOME YOUR WIFE, THAT IN ALL MY WAYS I HONOR HIM AND YOU.
SO THAT YOUR HEART CAN TRUST IN ME AND HAVE MUCH GAIN. I PRAY TO BE THE HELPMEET FOR YOU HE NEEDS ME TO BE.
