My family & I had quite an encouraging weekend. We went to Mapela Village, Limpopo Province, to officiate in a renewal of vows after 50 years between Silas & Thoko Motea. It was a touching ceremony because many marriages end in divorce or separation.
Silas has just turned 80, and Thoko is 67, and they had five kids (one passed away), and several grand and great grand children. After the normal preliminaries, I requested the bride-groom to kiss the bride, and grand children and great children were so happy and they demanded the couple to do it again. It appears that the current record-breaking wedding anniversary stands at 72.
Silas and Thoko have been following a vegetarian lifestyle for the rest of their lives, and it appears to be paying good dividends of longevity. There is a link between long life & diet. The same is true with a link between diseases and diet.
In spite of the fact that Satan is all out to destroy marriages, God is still in the business of saving our marriages - if we allow Him to do so. As mentioned earlier, we will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary 7 - 12 January 2007. We will be renewing our vows in one of the Mozambique Islands.
