Choose a verse

We started twenty years ago by choosing a specific scripture verse for each of our children.  Over the years, I have seen these scriptures come to pass.

Along the way, I thought of choosing a scripture for our family.  How to choose?  Pray and keep the spiritual antennae up.  The right scripture could show up while reading the Bible, or through a friend's words, or through the readings at church, or some other way.

The verse for our family is Judges 5:31: "Those who love Him are like the sun when it shines in its strength."
I remember a pediatrician entering the waiting room in which I was sitting with three of our children.  His comment was, "It's like walking into a room of sunshine."

A couple of years back, I realized the reference of this verse was our wedding anniversary.  5/31.  How cool is that?

I'd like to choose a verse for our marriage.  Will you do the same for yours?
