In 1981, my Hero and I put this ornament on our Christmas tree in our little one bedroom apartment in Arlington, TX.
It was new and so was our marriage. This year, we put our tree up and for the 30th consecutive year this was the first ornament we put on the tree.
It's not new anymore and neither are we. Time and wear have frayed a few of the threads but it's more beautiful than ever to me. For better, for worse; in sickness and in health; for richer, for poorer: every December we put the ornament on the tree.
It is an ornament of grace that reflects our love. I pray it graces our tree for many more Decembers.
