This past week Sandra and I went away for a couple of days to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. It really is hard to imagine how 20 years could have gone by so fast! What is even harder to imagine is that 20 years from now I will be really old! OK, maybe not that old; 65 is looking younger every year!
There are far too many things to point out how the Lord has blessed us since that wonderful day on November 10th, 1990. I remember moment by moment all that took place that day; what a joyful day indeed! Ask Sandra to tell you the story about how her dress wouldn't let her get out of the limousine. Of course, if you are a member of FRMBC, you've heard that story, probably on more than one occasion.
Twenty years later, our lives are filled with manifold blessings from the Lord. It's hard to believe that Michael is almost 17 years old, and Katie is a beautiful 14-year-old teenager.
The Lord has truly blessed us with two wonderful children! Along with the challenges that come with raising teens, we are watching the Lord work in the lives of our children as they're growing ever so close to their adult years. Though it comes with challenges, it is a great experience as we help them in their journey to discover the Lord's destiny for their lives of service to Him.
Sandra and I are so thankful that the Lord has given us these 20 years. By God's grace, we have strived to live our lives in such a way as to allow the Lord to use us for His glory. We have enjoyed serving Him in youth ministry, in music ministry, and over the past 16 years in ministering to the wonderful people at Flat Rock Missionary Baptist Church.
We are looking forward to the future as we continue to serve Him and His people and we are looking forward to seeing how He will use Michael and Katie in the years to come.
I also look forward to spending many more years, Lord willing, with the love of my life, my dear wife, Sandra! I look forward to growing old together with her, although, she reminds me that I will be there far sooner than she will. That's okay though; that means I can use that as an excuse for my dry wit and sense of humor. I'm gonna love that!
