ringing in another year!

My Bride

My Bride

 

This is a Terry “brag blog”. Had to take a moment to honor my bride of 28years (03/21/1981). For the first time ever we were apart on our anniversary. She was doing a training session in Baltimore, I was in New Orleans. What a drag! BUT, when she got back, she gave me one of the most amazing gifts I’ve ever received– a wedding ring.

Oh, it was my wedding ring; but I haven’t been able to wear it for many years. My fingers just got a little too big. So for our anniversary, she got it resized and polished. Looks like the day I married her. Gotta say, I almost cried. 28 is kind of a special year. Kath and I were 27 when we got married, so that means that I’ve now lived her longer than I lived without her. What a gift God has given the two of us. For all the jokes that are told about marriage, this I know– God knew what He was doing when He declared the wonder of “the two shall be one”.

    Congratulations Terry! My grandparents made it to 72 years married until my grandfather passed away. I pray for longevity for all our marriages.

    P.S. Is it simply coincidence that the CAPCHA I have to enter is VIRTUE?

    Virtue (Latin virtus; Greek ἀρετή) is moral excellence. Personal virtues are characteristics valued as promoting individual and collective well-being, and thus good by definition.

    I just tried my wedding ring and, lo and behold, it came off! Now my wedding belt — that is a different story!
    We celebrated our 40th in February, which means I had lived with Nancy 8.5 more years than I lived without her.

    Congratulations to the both of you. Bob and I will reach 50 years on april 11, God willing. Isn’t it amazing how many people are shocked when you tell them you are married to the same person “all those years” and still happy and talking?

    Love the blog’s. What a great idea. Really hope the DEC family and new people also take advantage of this way of getting to know their Pastor’s

    P.S. Congratulation to Bob and Nancy too!
