A Special January Day

P1154834

Today is a very special day in our lives. Thirty eight years ago today I walked down the aisle to join the man-of-my-dreams and become his wife. Oh, the dreams we had and the things we planned to do. We accomplished some of them and others may still happen in the future. Some of our dreams and plans would never become reality because God took us to places we never dreamed possible. Others were, perhaps, the dreams of youth that would be rethought and improved and enhanced and would take on new meaning. 'His love is perfected in us(I John 4: 12), a Bible verse that was very special to us, was the theme of our wedding. It was our desire then and it has been our prayer through the years we have walked through life together. We want it to be true through the years ahead. We are blessed. Every day.

Because my dear little mother is experiencing some health issues we’ve chosen not to go far from home this weekend. We are officially ‘away from home’ to the general public but our family knows that we are doing things close to home and spending nights at our favorite Bed and Breakfast – home! Early next week I’ll share our adventures. Until then, I’m just spending time with my sweetheart – enjoying the gift of time together. What a treasure!

  6. Congratulations - there is no way to explain to someone who hasn't been married "forever" what a joy it is to be in such a relationship. There is so much trust, faith, just knowing that can't be explained. I hope your weekend is truly blessed...marlene
