Anniversary.

It's a very significant day for us today.
For my husband, who in February was so unwell that the hospital told me not to expect him to make it through the night....he is so very grateful to be celebrating our 40th Wedding anniversary.
Our Lord was with us.

And so there are roses, celebrations, and a special afternoon tea later with family at a very nice hotel in Truro.

Neighbours, carers, friends and family have all sent flowers, wine and cards , helping us to celebrate.
How very blessed we are.

Happy anniversary!! So you were married just days before Christmas...what a good idea. When we were about to be married ( some 56 years ago) we found out our church didn't allow weddings during Advent. That was a surprise to us but we just changed our date to the end of November.

A very Happy Anniversary to the both of you!
I don't know why...but the beautiful photo of the two of you brought tears to my eyes...Maybe because God has been so very good to you both.
You are just beautiful Barbara!
I haven't been on the internet or my blog, but for some reason, God I am sure, sent me to your posting here. :-)

Merry Christmas and may the Lord continue to bless you and guide your every step in this New Year ahead.
