The greatest example a child has of marriage comes from their parents. How privileged I am to be blessed with being able to see a loving, Christ-centered marriage lived out before me daily. My parents are truly each other’s best and truest friend. No matter what hard times they’ve faced, they’ve stood together, following Jesus together, and though, of course, not perfect, learning and growing together for all these years. Their love for each other has grown deeper and stronger since their relationship began as highschool sweethearts and I can truly say I have never seen another like it. I honestly get teary just thinking about it. :*)

Thank you for your example, Mom and Dad. You’ve given me such a gift just by living your life and being willing to be open for us to see the joys and the hard times and watch you draw closer the the Lord and closer to each other through it all. Love you…
