Our Anniversary

Can two people be more in love 41 years after they are married than the day they got married? Yes, we are. We spent our first 10 years getting to know each other as 3 children joined our family. We spent the next 10 years interpreting what the other one meant by what they said and did, while another 3 children joined our family. We spent the next 10 years spending a fortune on food, clothes, missions and marriages while we earned the title of "Grandparents". This past 10 years have been years of love, joy and service as we have been blessed by both trials and triumphs, heart-warming and heart-breaking experiences. All are part of the peace and joy we are experiencing now. Our 6 children have blessed us with 20 grandchildren and more on the way. Each child is, unique, cherished and valued. Each grandchild is a wonder, a thrill and a delight. Surely God loves us, when His plan included this much happiness in one family. We believe marriage is ordained of God,

He is the Gift

It's that time of year when we all love each other because God loves us. God loved us so much, He gave us His son.  His son loved us so much He gave His life for us. I love Him so much I'm willing to keep His commandments. His commandments were given because He loves us. He knew that if we would follow His commandments, we would be happy. I am happy. I hope you are happy too. Merry Christmas and Happy 2015!
