3 days until my 36th Wedding Anniversary

Some are consumed with the fact that Christmas is in two days. I am in awe that 36 years ago I was in the finally hours of planning my wedding. My maternal grandparents were married on the same day in 1926. What possesses young people to get married in the same week as Christmas? My daughters attended a wedding last night, December 22, 2006. I cannot help but wonder if the new bride will experience the same anniversary celebration I have over the years. Christmas runs right into our anniversary, even if my husband wants to take me out, I am usually too tired and beg off. We spend the bulk of our money on our offspring and their offspring... besides I have to ask myself, who needs anything? I certainly do not...I am blessed beyond description. I have a great husband, wonderful children, exceptional grandchildren and good friends. Life is not always what I anitcipated but it is filled with the joy of knowing Jesus Christ and being able to trust in HIS divine care. One of the greatest celebration is living with Popa throughout a difficult year and still loving each other. It is my prayer that Jesus give us many more years together, years to serve HIM, serve our family, serve our friends and to extend the kingdom of God. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve....imitate Christ and give love to all you encounter.
