--THE GREATEST LOVE STORY~~
--Celebrated their 81st Wedding Anniversary! ~

---"My beloved is mine and I am his; he browses among the lilies."
--(Song of Solomon 2:16 ) --

---When John and Ann Betar celebrated their eight-first wedding anniversary, they were considered the couple with the longest marriage in the United States. Their advice? "Don't hold a grudge. Forgive each other," John advises. And Ann adds,"It is unconditional love and understanding."

--The Song of Songs captures this active commitment with two lovers delighting in and yearning for each other (1:15-16; 3:1-3). They love and are loved in return (2:16; 7:10) and are satisfied and content in each other's company (2:16:4:9-11; 7:10). Surely this can be one of life's greatest joys.

The earthly love between husband and wife is an echo of the passionate love and fervent pursuit of Jesus for those who believe in Him. "This is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16 NLT).

While it's beautiful to see the love a man and woman can share for decades, it pales compared to the amazing love God extends to us for eternity. That's the greatest love story! Jesus is the way the truth and the life. Come to the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ. (John 14 verse 6)
