What a beautiful house and a beautiful couple and I'm sure a beautiful family! My husband and I have been married 35 years next month. Our first 20+ were the hardest till we got our priorities straight with the Lord! Life truely has gotten better and better everyday since that time. We like to say now we are in our "honeymoon" years because we never really had that during the first years. You are right...Love never quits...we say "Love Wins" and even used that theme for my son's vintage baseball style wedding a couple of years ago. God is faithful!

Sometimes the other half seems like a stranger and we wonder if we know them at all any more. We need to persevere until we recognize them again! It happens, but it takes time. Understanding the changes that come within ourselves over the years is not something that we were prepared for, but something that we have learned. We are so much better for it.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00768716917839658140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069914728575928846.post-47640839021530591872011-03-16T15:00:16.972-07:002011-03-16T15:00:16.972-07:00Beautiful post and so refreshing!
