50 Years and Counting

My husband and I just returned from Tehachapi, California (I had never heard of it either!) where we celebrated the 50th Wedding Anniversary of my sister & brother-in-law. Yes, people still love each other and make a marriage work after 50 years! If only more people would learn what commitment means. It was an amazing few days of honoring their love and commitment to their vows. Their four children along with the children-in-law and numerous grandchildren gave testimony to the importance of a family that understands and teaches the value of loving each other - no matter what. I pray that we will be able to attend more of these occasions and not just of our family's.

There was a time that a person's word meant something. You could trust what they said and not wonder if they would follow through. It was a time when you could enter into an agreement with just and handshake and not get "taken". We need those days back!

Congratulations Bev & Harold! We are so very proud of you.
