39 & 10 = Blessed!

June 2 marks a very significant day for two couples within our immediate family!

June 2, 1972 - I married the love of my life.  I didn't know he was truly the love of my life because who can really know this just a few weeks after they turn 18???!!!!  But because we chose to follow Jesus early in our marriage (a LONG 1 1/2 years later) - and ONLY because of turning our hearts towards God - can I even say I married the love of my life 39 years ago today!  Without God as the center of our life and marriage - I truly doubt that we would still be married today and we would NOT have had the 3 children we had which would NOT have begat our 8 (almost 9) grandchildren!!!  Whew!  But God gave us the desires of our heart when we asked Him to spare our marriage and make it new again!  Robin is my best friend, the person I can tell all my fears, secrets, longings, insecurities, and hopes to .... and he doesn't laugh.  He's always loved me - in spite of my totally imperfect self!  No one could be more opposite than the two of us - but we fit together like a puzzle piece.  Where I'm weak - he is strong (and visa-versa!!)  Thank you sweet Jesus for changing our lives so many years ago.  Without you I would not be writing this post!  Happy 39th Anniversary to the man I adore!  I pray for 39 more!

June 2, 2011 -  29 years after our wedding on June 2, 1972 - our oldest son Brandon, and his gorgeous wife, Sharla said "I DO" on our special day - which became their special day as well.  Happy 10th Anniversary Brandon and Sharla!  I pray that your marriage will be as incredible as your parent's (both Windsor's and Marler's)!  There will always be lots of valley's and mountaintops but may your love for each other and with God remain steadfast!  We love you much!!
