Blessings
 
55 years two kids eloped from Kansas to Oklahoma------stood before God and promised to ---
"LOVE, HONOR and CHERISH",
4 children, 15 grand children and 7 great-grand kids later, we have been truly blessed.
The years have flown by so fast. The promises have held strong. Probably more in love that when we started.
I am blessed with an honorable man. We have grown to cherish every day together.
God is indeed Good and cares for his children.

May you have many many more years together to enjoy each other and your family

ljptexas 09-11-2013 03:33 AM

Yes, yes indeed!!! My sweet hubby suddenly went to his Maker nearly 12 yrs ago. I miss him sooo much. He was such a wonderful example of a Christian man & father. We were married for 35 yrs. I tell people the hardest thing to handle has been that my darling 7 grandkids don't have a Paw Paw!!! The 3 oldest were only 5, 3 & 1. Of course he was a man of many talents so I've had to handle things myself or pay $ to get 'em done.
God bless you both with many more happy & healthy years!!!!

52-3/4 years ago, two kids eloped from Minnesota to Iowa to the Little Brown Church in the Vale ------stood before God and promised to----"for better or worse, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health forsaking all other until death do us part."

One son, three grandchildren, one great-grand son and a great-granddaughter on the way. And we were truly blessed. Yes, the years flew by soooo fast. The promises have held strong, also and probably more in love than when we started. Our saying between the two of us was always "More than yesterday - less than tomorrow."

I was blessed with an honorable man. We grew to cherish every day together. And the days went too fast.

He passed away in March, 2013 and still God is indeed GOOD and He does care for His children. Edie

PS Think about that quote and love - "More than yesterday, less than tomorrow."

Letty 09-12-2013 09:11 AM

Wonderful! My husband and I too made that promise 54 years ago, and still love, hug and get joy from being together. O ly one son living but as you say probably more inlove than ever

Roberta 09-12-2013 12:02 PM
