A Gift from God to Bill & Me

35th AnniversarySitting in the shade by a lake with our feet propped up enjoying a quiet, chilled-out 35th anniversary in our favorite July place: the Texas Hill Country.

Thank you, God. Without you, we wouldn’t have made it past year one. 

“Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.”            James 1:17 NASB

    Yes, God is sooo Good to us!
    If we will delight In Him, He will
    Give us the desires of our heart
    …. And, rest :-)!

    Hi Laurie,
    Has it been that many years since your Daddy sang his version of “Fiddler”. I remember well the giant “sniff” that went up from all of we ladies at that beautiful event. Thank you for including me and my family. I will treasure that night always.
    Love,
    Collene

      Yes, I’m afraid it has been that long, but what a sweet anniversary gift it was to hear from you, beloved friend. And about that sniffing: by the time Daddy finished singing, I was in full-blown runny nose mode and no one near me had a single tissue. Thus, my #1 wedding day advice to all brides: make sure your maid of honor has a hanky handy. Collene, please give James and your sweet, beautiful kids my love. Your Beth and her children remain in my heart and prayers. Love you, Collene!

    Collene reminded me of your wedding day! I had the sniffles after Dubbie sang that song as well! What a beautiful wedding it was. Has it been that long? My goodness! You certainly made a wise choice in Bill. You so deserve it!

    I love you, & miss you!

      So good to hear from you, Kristi, and thanks for your sweet words. It made me smile to see “Dubbie” in print, and it took me back to happy memories of playing with you as a child when we used to live just a few blocks away from each other. I love and miss you, too!
