It was on this day 44 years ago that The Husband and I became a family of two. Yes, we were married in the "old" church (as folks at our church call it now that there's a "new" church). We were fairly young and foolish and obviously in love. You can look on this date's other posts in the archives and see photos of us in our young and foolish times.
As life deals, there have been many tough times in the past 44 years.
The sickness and health vow has been tested too many times.
Wrong decisions have been made on occasion.
And so much more negatives.
On the other hand, The Husband and I have proven faithfulness to each other, to family, to church, and most of all to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Can I say we have done that constantly? Absolutely not, but we have done it the best that we could. A life situation right now (yes there are many) have caused us to look again at our integrity and happily, we find it alive and well. Truth is very important.
44 years ago, the Lord had a plan. It was a plan based on prayers and hopes and faith. And it was so the best plan for The Husband and me. I am blessed to sit here and type this in the same kitchen I cooked in 44 years ago. The set up and decor has changed but the most important things--the cooking and food--has not. That's like marriage, I think. We all change. Now the hair is grayer, the body is weaker, and the health begins to decline but the important things--love, most of all--has not changed.
I am blessed.
