ThanksAversary!


This last Thursday was Thanksgiving. A time where we as a country are to give thanks to the One and Only God for all the blessings we've received. I always wonder how people in the country who don't believe in any god do on this day. Do they get mad because they don't want to be thankful? Do they just thank their friends and family? I can't identify with that group because I have a relationship with the Most High. I'm not sure how it's even possible that He'd care, but He does. I know that it's because He did everything to save me from myself and the evil that surrounds, but why would Love, for what I see so often as worthless, love this? I can't answer that one...I can just be extremely thankful and I am. As a bonus reminder of God's great, infinite and amazing love is the fact that my wife and i got married the day after Thanksgiving one year ago today(11.28.08)!! He lets me see His face in Hers and lets me see His love for me through her. His forgiveness by her too. I see a greater picture of who God is and how much He loves be through His Servant who loves me deeply and for that I am expressionlessly thankful as I celebrate this new Holiday for my wife and I dubbed: Thanksgiving Anniversary or ThanksAversary

His Peace!!

Well, Mark I know your spirit is close to Him but now, surely in the words you so wonderfully wrote, I see He blessed you with a wonderful lady and she has likewise been blessed with you.

Congratulations on your Anniversary. My wife and I are coming up to our 37th anniversary (but we was only 2 years old so, we are just 39, right?(Not)

We are growing happily and gracefully into our 4th decade of marriage. That does seem we are getting old? Actually I am old, she is forever youthful!

May you gather as many wonderful memories as we have been blessed with.
