35 years!

Anniversary Sunday, February 26, 2012 (7:45 a.m.)

Carlsbad, CA

Blessed, Awesome Father God,

Thirty-five years! I continue to be amazed. You did this for us Lord. A decision not taken lightly to begin with, commitments over the years to work through the rough spots and here we are… GLAD! Grateful, loving and devoted to You and to one another.

Thank You Father. You did this for us! We could never have done it without You. What we knew to be love thirty-five years ago is NOT what we are celebrating today. You have taught us so much about commitment, respect, submission… The really hard things that have helped us build this firm foundation. This firm foundation that 17 years ago You helped us realize must be made in and by and through You.

It is You most blessed Father God who has brought us to this place. You who kept us listening to the songs and the Bible verses throughout the years that have helped us keep our commitment and vows to one another.

Thank You Father for the love, the trust, the faith and the hope that You have provided us. Thank You for this husband that took straight to heart my initial request that our anniversaries always be celebrated and made special in some way.

You’ve provided all this and more for us Blessed Lord and we are grateful. Truly, wonderfully and supremely grateful.

Let us use what You have been teaching us through the years for Your ultimate good. It is in Your Blessed Son’s name we pray. We love You Thank You. Amen.
