Over the last week we have had a lot on our plate…………we’ve been working at our new rental next door, we’ve had various people over for meals, a potluck, a huge Barbecue and Shower (59 people for dinner!) for Pete and Heather’s new baby (due the end of September), and gotten five chickens…..that are laying! At least three of them are. And we are TIRED, so we are taking a much needed rest for a few days.We celebrate our 37th (WHAT?!) wedding anniversary tomorrow on the 21st, and we are happy to say that we are still glad we got married so many years ago. “We make a good team”, Doyle told me this last week and those words were some of the sweetest I’ve heard from him!
That’s because I am a huge believer in “teamwork” and when you can team up with a spouse to make something good and beautiful, then it’s all the better! Yes, I do believe over the years we’ve been a good team. We’ve been through hard times, good times, thick times, thin times (many ways to take that!) and we’ve raised our family, started several businesses, been involved in numerous ministries, had too many people live with us over the years to count (although my kids have tried!) and mentored and loved, fed and cried with people, people, people. Because when it’s all said and done, the most important thing in life is that we’ve loved, uplifted, encouraged and worked with people. Thank you Doyle for 37 years of never being bored! Thirty-seven wonderful, years! And thanks to my friends and family for “being” there, helping us be the people God intended for us to be! Here’s to many, many more years together!
