Ten on Tuesday

Following Crayl's suggestion, once again, I'm doing today's list on "Things that last"

1. God. The lasting-est thing of all! He is from beginning to end and His love never fails.
2. Family. We may have our ups and downs, but we're always there for each other.
3. Marriage. I realize they don't all work out, but I've seen plenty of them that have weathered the storms of life and stood the test of time. And I realize I'm just a few years away from having been married more than half my life! Happy anniversary to D&L Fed.!
4. Friendships. Some may come and some may go, the truly lasting ones really are golden. My longest friendship has stood for 32 years so far and is a treasure to me.
5. Furniture. Well built furniture can last and last with a little love. We have dressers in my kids' rooms that my parents bought second hand when my sister and I were little and a dining room table that belonged to my husband's great grandfather.
6. Books. Some of my favorites were written as much as a hundred years ago and more.
7. The Bible. I realize this falls under the book category, but is worthy of it's own mention. It's been guiding mankind for a very long time and will continue to do so until the end of time.
8. Love. The love you feel for someone can last long after that person is gone.
9. Music. Songs age quickly, a song that was on the charts just last year may be referred to as an "old song", but the good ones still stick around and I enjoy music that was popular when my parents were teens.
10. Life. Our time here on Earth may be fleeting, but we are created to be eternal beings. Thanks to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we can choose where to spend that eternity, and I plan to spend mine with Him!
