Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary!

It will be. I will spend it with the same lady I have spent the last thirty-four. My life is blessed because Ruth is there.

Someone came up with a whole list of things to give on these days. Silver on 25, gold on 50 so on and so on it goes. Those were suggestions of gifts to give your spouse. I don't know but it sounds like department stores and jewelers came up withe the list to me.

I haven't even looked at the list to see what I should be giving Ruth today. But I do know what the gift to give on number thirty five is. It is thanks.

I am thankful for all that God has done for us in these years. Three great kids and three wonderful grandchildren ( and counting I hope). We have been in ministry for all of these years and I am thankful for that and how God has provided. He has placed many incredible people in our lives that have enriched us beyond our ability to explain it all.

But mostly today I am just thankful for Ruth. What a lady. When I ask myself what did I do to deserve such a blessing as she is, the answer is nothing. God just had mercy on me and sent her into my life. She is the sunshine in the morning and the stars at night. That girl is the light of my life.

I don't really know what to give her on this anniversary, (she wants an Alaskan cruise) but I know exactly what to give God.

Thanks!

You do have a wonderful lady. I am so blessed to have her in my life as well. She is pretty lucky too!!! You are a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. Have a great day. Hope she gets her Alaskian cruise. That is one that we have always wanted to go on as well. You guys have a wonderful day and do some celebrating!!!

Happy Anniversary!
Perhaps if Ruth gets her Alaskian Crusie you might get your Harley? (with out the skulls of course!)

Hello Pastor Steve,    We just want to congratulate you with your joyous occasion. We are about to celebrate 15 years in August and I too am richly blessed to have such a loving wife. God is so good sometimes I just want to scream the good news!! We will be returning to North Carolina on Sunday morning. We have a central assembly of God in "Boone" that we attend up there. So we will keep you and Ruth in our prayers and we will see you on the first of August.  AGAPE..Bob and Marilyn Schupbach
