Once Upon a Time…

There was a young girl…

And there was a young boy…

And through a series of miracles, God designed their meeting.

As their relationship developed, they knew they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together.

So on May 19, 1979…

They made a covenant before the Lord to begin a family that would honor the One Who brought them together.

 

Steve Green sings a song that beautifully expresses my feelings about our relationship.  It’s called Holding Hands.  These are the lyrics:

One day, far away, you gently won my heart
And one night, by candlelight, we made a vow to never part
And then it seemed just like a dream
When wide eyed, side by side
We faced the future holding hands.

Years fly, they hurry by, the simple times are gone
Bills due, a kid or two, a week can feel eight days long

By fading light, let's kiss goodnight
And then we trace God's daily grace
Thankful we're still holding hands

There's a hope that won't let go
There's a truth we know
God is holding us
In His arms

        

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By God's grace 'til that day
We'll walk forever holding hands.

Oh, Lord, Your goodness overwhelms me.  Thank You for the man You brought into my life to be my husband and the father of my children.  It’s truly by Your grace that our marriage has grown so much the last 30 years.  I fully acknowledge that without You, it would not have been possible.
