Blessings of a Lifetime

In the mix of a busy month we managed to venture down to Connecticut for my god parents 50th Wedding Celebration. It was a beautiful ceremony, put on by their children.

 What a blessing for God to send a help-meet and then to be able to say that you were able to spend 50 years with them! I can't even image, but I hope & pray, if it's in God's plan, some day that can be

 my Husband & I.

²¹ And further, submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
²² For wives, this means submit to your husbands as to the Lord. ²³ For a husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. He is the Savior of his body, the church. ²⁴ As the church submits to Christ, so you wives should submit to your husbands in everything.
²⁵ For husbands, this means love your wives, just as Christ loved the church. He gave up his life for her ²⁶ to make her holy and clean, washed by the cleansing of God’s word.  ²⁷ He did this to present her to himself as a glorious church without a spot or wrinkle or any other blemish. Instead, she will be holy and without fault. ²⁸ In the same way, husbands ought to love their wives as they love their own bodies. For a man who loves his wife actually shows love for himself. ²⁹ No one hates his own body but feeds and cares for it, just as Christ cares for the church. ³⁰ And we are members of his body.
³¹ As the Scriptures say, “A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one

Ephesians 5:21-31

And of coarse we had to make a trip to the ocean, seeing as it wasn't that far away.

We use to make a visit here often while growing up.

Gods reminder in the sky, that He Loves Us!

We even managed to get some what of a family picture, (thanks to my stroller.. lol)

Imitate God, therefore, in everything you do, because you are his dear children.  Live a life filled with love, following the example of Christ. He loved us and offered himself as a sacrifice for us, a pleasing aroma to God.

Ephesians 5:1
