Jakes,
the televangelist who leads The Potters House church in Dallas, Texas, took
to social media to express how much his
wife Serita Jakes means to him when the pair celebrated their wedding
anniversary Tuesday.
"35
years of marriage today to this beautiful lady. A lot has happened in 35
years," he wrote. "Whether up or down, her love has been consistent
and constant! I'm a blessed man!"
In
reflecting about his life, Jakes revealed that the pair have had to endure some
major challenges and changes throughout the years.
"Many
that started with us have gone on and some have split up. Our parents are gone,
our church home has moved and all our children are grown," he wrote.
"The constant has been our unwavering love and her consistent loyalty to
me and the vision God gave me! Happy Anniversary @seritajakes You are
loved!"
Mrs.
Jakes was grateful for the honor and replied to his message by writing, "thank you my love! Love
you."
Sarah
Jakes Roberts, the 28-year-old daughter of the pair, also chose to publicly
honor her parents on their special day. In her lengthy Instagram message, Jakes Roberts revealed
some things that she has learned by witnessing her parents' marriage.
"One
of the lessons I value the most is how they've taught me to show up. My parents
will do whatever it takes," she wrote. "They'll mop the floors or
speak at inauguration. My parents will fry chicken for a grieving family or
dine with kings and queens."
Those
moments remind her about her parents' unchanging character.
"They
never let the room they're in define who they are, they allow the room to
adjust to their truth. That truth is one of kindness, generosity, and
compassion to all," she wrote. "When they walk in the room what you
see is what you get and what you get leaves you feeling better than you were
before. I'm grateful to be from their stock."
