50 Years..

.......If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.1 Corinthians 13:1-8a and 13

My grandparents are celebrating 50 years of marriage today. I have watched them both very closely growing up..probably there every move ;) I am so blessed to have them as my grandparents..they have both taught me many things to keep with me as I go through life. But this example of love and marriage is so important, b/c they both have Jesus in their lives. They know that only by loving God and putting him first, will the marriage thrive. They showed me that love can survive anything..and with love everything is possible. I know they have had hard times, and will still have hard times to come..but they know the secret in keeping the marriage strong. I thank God for both of them and their testimony to me and Michael and our marriage.

1 Corinthians is one of my favorite verses in the bible, and it's always nice to reflect on it. Thank you Grandmother and Grandaddy for showing us that "I Do" can last forever ;) We love you both and wish we could be there to celebrate with everyone!! Thanks for being so great and letting your light shine ;)
