47 Years Ago Today

Forty-seven years ago today it was pouring down rain.  Forty-seven years ago today my grandma (the same one who has been sick and is still doing GREAT, Praise the Lord!) worked all morning getting her house cleaned up.  Because forty-seven years ago today, at my grandparent's house near St. Elizabeth, Missouri, my mom married my dad.



These picture are old and faded and grainy, but they are the only "in-color" pictures I have of that day.  My parent's wedding album is all in black and white.

Today I would ask that you join me in lifting my mom and dad in prayer.  Prayers for health and for God's protection.  Prayers for a good long life filled with happiness and the joy of the Lord which is our strength.



Happy Anniversary, mom and dad.  I love you both with all of my heart, and I am so very proud to be your daughter.
