Walking together for 50 years has been a great blessing. We don’t focus on our disagreements but rather on those things that we agree on. As the years have gone by, what we agree on has become more important.

these personal preferences. 

Just because there are some things that we don't agree on doesn't mean
there are not some things that we actually do agree on. 

For example, this past week, we decided to go out for supper at a local
restaurant. It's been a long week and many things were happening that 
you just can't prepare for, so we deserved a little bit of a break. 

As we got to the end of our meal, the waitress came by to see if we
wanted dessert, and of course, we did. 

Almost simultaneously, we said, "I'll have an apple pie à la mode,"
which was the featured dessert on the menu. 

We looked at each other and broke out laughing. The waitress laughed
with us, and then she went to get the dessert. 

It was then I realized there are things that do bring us together. I
never thought of it before, but apple pie à la mode was the one thing 
that brought us together and the one thing that we could agree on. 

We've known each other for about 50 years, and I just realized the one
thing that we do have in common. So we talked about it for a few 
moments, and the topic was, "What was your favorite pie à la mode?" 

For me, it's tough to pick out my favorite pie. But, if there's a bad
pie, I've never encountered it. 

Finally, I brought it all together by saying, "Any pie à la mode is my
kind of pie." 

Later on, I was reminded of one of my favorite verses in the Bible. “Can
two walk together, except they be agreed?” (Amos 3:3). 

Walking together for 50 years has been a great blessing. We don't focus
on our disagreements but rather on those things that we agree on. As 
the years have gone by, what we agree on has become more important.
