It's A Really Sweet Sunday!

34 years and Counting......
 

 
Today is a BIG day...
Its our Anniversary....
34 years and counting.....

 
Boy, how things have changed...
Just looking at the changes in my hair is enough to scare anyone...
 
 
I can hear you laughing.....
Yes, that was a bad hair decision
and whats worse...
it was captured on film...
 
34 Exciting years and counting...
 
 
3 amazing daughters
5 wonderful Grands
2 Son-in-laws
1 Grand dog
15 pets..
16 moves to new areas (houses)...
5 complete house makeovers...
11 cars ( that is actually pretty good)
Pastoring 9 churches..
Running a Rescue Mission..
Homeless shelter
Bible College
Seminary
40 pounds lost...:)
40 pounds gained...:(
one heart attack ( my hubby)
gall bladder surgery (both)
foot surgery
one ulcer
 
I can truly say life has been anything but boring.....
We have had many wonderful experiences.
 
In the end...
In eternity....
 
It will not matter what we bought or what we built...
Where we lived...
What we drove or what we wore...
How much money we made....
Wins and losses will seem unimportant...
It will not matter where you came from...
Your skin color, gender or what your hair looked like....
What matters...
 
all that matters is one thing.....
Those we have shown the Love of Jesus to..

 
  The compassion, courage, or sacrifice
that enriched, empowered,
or encouraged others to emulate the example of Jesus Christ,

that is what will be rewarded throughout eternity.



 
  34 wonderful years and counting on 34 years more....

"So they are no longer two, but one,
Therefore, what God has joined together,
let man not separate."
Matthew 19:6

Blessings My Friends!

  10. Hi Patty,
    Thank you so much for your camera input and your sweet comments! I'm really liking the Canon and trying really hard to work on making my images clearer.
    My sons both have Canons...they really enjoy them and I'm kinda leaning towards them, However, I had another reader who really likes her Nikon. I'm not familiar with them, but probably need to check them out too.
    I'll keep you posted!
    Thanks again,
    Sharlotte

  12. Didn't know you were a pastor's wife. I'm a PK who my daddy tried to make into a pastor's wife after my mom died. So we have more in common than I realized. I've been married 35 and I do had the hair. Only mine was fine and wouldn't boof like I would have liked:)
