Anniversary

Oh how I wished I had kept a daily journal of the last 37 years along with a yearly Anniversary photograph of my husband and me.

 I regret that we didn't have a yearly professionally~looking photograph of us taken through the years.  The hair style, glasses and clothing would have recorded the era and our maturing faces would have suggested hinted that we are growing older...grins.  

Hinted....that's my story and I'm sticking to it.




I love my Husband very much and when I look into his face I still see the guy I fell in love with many years ago, but in my heart I know that he has changed for the better.


We've been married Thirty Seven Years 
this August 31st.   
37.

Holy Matrimony is a blessed institution.  
Someday I will write a book about how God healed our marriage.  

SAVED it...actually.


It's a miracle.
MIRACLE.

I personally found out for myself 
that God is in the MIRACLE WORKING BUSINESS.

I'm a witness.

HaPpY ANNIVERSARY
to my Boaz
my Sweetheart
my Soul Mate
my Lover
my Best Friend
my Husband

37 YEARS and counting.
~Deanna~

PS
Honey, I love you.


PSS
My 84 year old Daddy is scheduled to have Gall Bladder Surgery August 31st as well.
Thank you for praying.
God Bless.

Oh, that's really lovely. Don't you wish blogging existed 40 years ago? I would have loved to have kept a diary of our times that we were stationed in Germany, S. Korea, and England, plus our month in Zambia. Man. We missed out!

Thanks Dd. That's the best anniversary card I've ever gotten! I am so thankful that the Lord and the miracle of saving our marriage. Brings to life these words from Amazing Grace....

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound,
That sav'd a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see......
..
The Lord has promis'd good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures....

I love you sweetheart!

Deanna...You two have a legacy of love... and have experienced miracles over these 37 years...and I'm sure that you have learned so much, and grown in so many ways...including spiritually!

I know the trials have made our marriage stronger...and drawn us close to Jesus. So I thank God for them all.

It would be fun to have a pictorial history of all 37 anniversaries, along with a journal...but you hold it all in your hearts and minds. What really counts is who you are today, in Christ! (:>)

To me, you are a lovely Christian friend, who always lifts my spirit when I read your fun posts. You enjoy life...and everyone in your life.

I think you are one special lady!

Happy Anniversary!

Love, Linda

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

its rooms are filled with rare

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
