42 Years and Counting!!!!

                            Beloved_thumb

     When it all Began…………..

Papa and Nana wedding day

We were Just Two Young Kids……On a path that has lead to Forty Two Years of Marital Bliss….

Well… we have shared Bliss and we have shared sorrow… but I believe what makes it work, is that we SHARED,    The Bliss and the sorrow and counted on Our God to sort it all out!!

I have heard that compromise is what makes marriage work. But after all these years, I have come to realize that it’s more about LOVE, lots of Unconditional Love and Understanding.  Knowing that men and women are different and accepting and embracing our differences in order to cooperate with each other as we walk this Path of Life together!!

I know it sounds crazy after all the years that we have been together, but doing the Love Dare together this year really helped us to better understand what Unconditional Love is all about and why it is sooo important in a marriage relationship.

                   Partners for Life…. Partners in Life!!!

 

We are looking forward to many more years together.

    When Papa retires we want to do a lot of this…

In Him,

Sharon

Happy Anniversary! You are such a wonderful person and friend. I pray you'll have 42 more. I love the picture of you guys in the car.You are so right Unconditional Love is pretty much the ticket for all relationships. Many times it's hard but that is what the Lord does for us. We are so blessed. I hope you guys do something really fun for your special day.

I knew we must have something in common and it's our anniversary.
We were married 9-23-62 (47 years ago). Take a look at the slide Memories on my left sidebar sometime and see how we have changed. Happy Anniversary to you and your husband.

We went to our oldest daughter's in Virginia Beach on our anniversary (last Wednesday) and stayed until Sunday.
May God's blessings be great for the upcoming years,
AliceE.
