Celebrating Marriage

Joel and I are celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary today.  He surprised me by posting a few pictures on Facebook, along with a sweet message.  Little did I know Joel was up at 2:00 a.m. this morning posting those pictures!  He never ceases to surprise me, and I love him for it!  Well, I have been planning my own wedding anniversary post for a few days, but now, thanks to Joel, I have the pictures he scanned from our wedding album.  

Joel, I am so thankful for our years of marriage, facing the joys and trials of life together.  It has been rich as our bond grows stronger with each passing year.  Today, though I could list many blessings, I am especially thankful for these two gifts:

~ That when I look in your eyes, I see your love for me reflected in them.

~ That you faithfully point me to Christ as the Savior and Lover of our souls.  

Happy anniversary, Joel!

Committing our lives to one another and to God.

Happy, happy!
