Sunday Meditation

3 Let us know,
      Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD.
      His going forth is established as the morning;
      He will come to us like the rain,
      Like the latter
and former rain to the earth.
Hosea 6:3

Wedding Memories

We've been clutter-busting at our house.  Several weeks ago, I went through our massive collection of sheet music and music books, culling what was no longer of use.  I had put the items in a stack in my bedroom until I could find someone to pass them on to.  On Monday, August 1st (our 30th wedding anniversary), I carried the stack to put in the give-away box out in the garage.  The obviously-not-yet-dead* dumpster-diver pack-rat in me influenced me to take a quick peek through the stack.  And I'm glad I did.  For some reason a pad of blank music notation staff paper was in the pile.  Shouldn't have been.  I use that stuff regularly!  And in the same folder were pages that I had pulled from music books - songs that I DID want to keep.  Don't know how that stuff came to be with the give-aways.



The amazing thing was that one of the songs was "Unto the Author of Love," the song that David and I sang to each other at our wedding.  That I should find the very song we sang on the very day of our 30th wedding anniversary felt like a little gift from the Lord.  I called David in and we sang it together again!  Happy memories!

Thank you, Lord for my dear husband, and for "serendipitous" finds!

*(I'm diligently working on slaying that rat.)

30 Years... of marriage!

Before they left to celebrate their anniversary

Don't they look great 30 years later?! 

They have aged with grace... :) 

Our parents have been married for thirty years, which is quite a milestone in this day and age.
We are so thankful that they are still married and are blazing a trail for their children, encouraging us by their example, to stay faithful to one person until death separates a couple.

“May God’s blessing be with you
and may it be good to you.
May God’s goodness be with you
good and for seven times good
may you spend your life.”
 (an Irish blessing)

According to this the best wishes for another year of marriage!

Happy 30th Anniversary Mom & Dad! We love you!!

Just a reminder...

....We do like comments! :)
