A Good Celebration



This is a proof of a picture of my husbands Mom and Dad. Good picture.



This is a picture of Pat's folks, and he and his siblings from left to right, in birthorder.

The celebration went really well. There was all of the East Coast family and six of the Midwest family there. There are 24 of us in all here, so the ones that went represented the rest of us.

My Father-in-law is 89 and Mom is 87 this year. They enjoy relatively good health, have their sharp wits about them. The family has the privelage of being a part of their parents lives at this time in THEIR lives. Not too many 60 year olds have the benefit of going and doing with both of their parents, do they? :)

I've been hearing from the girls back East and our daughters that went out, and it warms the heart to know that Mom and Dad's family celebrated their 65th Wedding Anniversary in such a way that honored them so.

One of my sisters-in-law took some of the old family pictures that her husband gathered and made a power point presentation with music that was popular in Mom and Dads younger years, and there was not a dry eye in the room.

The youngest sister, Lou, that just married last month....she and her family will be traveling out late this summer so she can introduce her new husband to the rest of us out here. FUN eh? :)

Have talked about this event for a while and wanted to share a couple of pictures we've been offered to consider for purchase. It's good to lay eyes on them all.

As family members they can't be beat.

Proverbs 10:22 tells us:
The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Thank You Lord!

I'm reading a book entitled "Smith Wigglesworth Only Believe" - one of the quotes I wish to share from it is: The place of being filled with the Holy Spirit is where the Believer binds the power of satan.
From chapter 1 - The Dispensation of the Holy Spirit.

Those are wonderful pictures. Please buy them, because they will hold such memories for all of you.

There aren't too many 65th anniversaries celebrated these days!

Yes, we're in the process of choosing from probably a hundred or more that were taken. They're all yummy.

Thanks.

No there's not many that are able to have such a celebration, and I'm thankful that the kids pulled something together that brought honor to their folks.
