TOMORROW WILL BE 41 YEARS!!!!!!!!
HELLO, TOMORROW MY HUSBAND AND I WILL BE CELEBRATING 41 YEARS OF MARRIAGE. WE GIVE ALL THE PRAISE AND GLORY TO GOD.
WHEN WE WERE MARRIED 35 YEARS WE RENEWED OUR VOWS. IT WASN'T ON THE 15TH BUT ON THE 7TH OF MAY. THE CHURCH WE BELONG TO MOVED TO A NEW BUILDING AND THE SUNDAY OF THE FIRST SERVICE WE RENEWED OUR VOWS.
ALL OUR BOYS AND GRANDCHILDREN WERE THERE EXCEPT OUR OLDEST SON. HIS WIFE'S GRANDMOTHER HAD JUST DIED AND HE HAD TO BE THERE FOR HER.
OUR OLDEST SON THAT WAS THERE WALKED ME DOWN THE AISLE. AND OUR OTHER TWO SON'S WERE UP FRONT WITH THERE FATHER. OUR TWO OLDEST GRANDDAUGHTER'S WALKED IN FRONT OF ME WITH SOME FLOWERS.
WE WROTE OUR OWN VOWS. MY HUSBAND SAID HIS FIRST. WHEN HE GOT DONE IT WAS MY TURN BUT I STARTED CRYING AT FIRST. OUR PASTOR SAID HE COULDN'T SAY THEM FOR ME. LOL! FINALLY I WAS ABLE TO SAY THEM.
WHAT I SAID WAS-WE'VE BEEN THROUGH IT ALL-THE FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE, THE IN SICKNESS AND IN HEALTH, AND THE FOR RICHER AND FOR POORER. THE ONLY THING WE HAVEN'T BEEN THROUGH IS UNTIL DEATH DO WE PART AND I HOPE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN FOR A LONG TIME.
IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY BUT WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT LOVE IS NOT A FEELING. IT IS A DECISION. WE HAVE TO DECIDE EVERYDAY WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO. I MADE MY MIND UP MORE THEN 41 YEARS THAT ONCE I GOT MARRIED IT WAS FOREVER. BY THE GRACE OF THE GOOD LORD AND ONE DAY AT A TIME WE GOT THROUGH IT. HE KNEW WHAT AND WHO WE NEEDED TO GET EACH OTHER THROUGH THESE YEARS. HE KEPT US TOGETHER FOR A TIME SUCH AS THIS.
I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED AND GOOD WEEK. I KNOW I WILL. HUGS, CHRIS

HELLO EVERYONE, SORRY I DIDN\'T GET ON YESTERDAY BUT MY LAPTOP WASN\'T WORKING RIGHT. I HAD A HARD TIME TODAY TOO BUT I MADE IT. LOL!
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR CONGRATULATIONS AND COMMENTS. WE WENT TO BREAKFEAST YESTERDAY AND THE TWO COUPLE\'S WE EAT BREAKFEAST WITH FORGOT OR DIDN\'T KNOW IT WAS OUR ANNIVERSARY. THE ONE LADY (SHE IS A PASTOR) CALLED TO SEE WHAT TIME WE\'D BE HOME. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET MY HAIR CUT AND SAID BE HOME BY 2:30. I THOUGHT SHE\'D BRING OVER A CARD. WHEN SHE GOT HERE SHE HAD A CARD AND A DREAM CATCHER WIND CHIMES-MY HUSBAND IS NATIVE AMERICAN. SO SHE THOUGHT HE\'D LIKE IT. THEN HER HUSBAND CAME IN WITH A CAKE. A FEW MINUTES LATER THE OTHER COUPLE CAME TO THE DOOR. THEY CAME AND SPENT A FEW MINUTES WITH US AND HAD SOME CAKE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY NICE OF THEM.
TOMORROW WE\'RE SUPPOSED TO GET TOGETHER WITH OUR BOYS AND THEY\'RE FAMILIES. WE\'LL PROBABLY GO TO THIS NEW DINER. THAT SHOULD BE A GOOD TIME.
THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR COMMENTS. HOPE EVERYONE HAS A BLESSED EVENING. HUGS, CHRIS
