Forty years today of walking alongside. We’ve built a relationship, a family, made a
home, contributed to a community. We
have birthed, nourished, and nurtured. We
have worked together and independently, at our jobs, in our home. We’ve played…music, art, expressions of
worship, explorations of rock walls (several kinds) and craft stores and thrift
shops, and supported each other’s crazy ideas and entrepreneurial efforts
(several kinds here too). We’ve laughed
and we’ve cried. We’ve made plenty of
mistakes; we are certainly still learning.
We’ve not always gotten our way—it’s a lesson of sharing and compromise
and figuring out what love looks like and how in the world you do it. We have
loved, and we have hurt; we’ve forgiven, and been forgiven. We are grateful for the adventure. Its twists and turns haven’t ended and we don’t
expect them to. And most importantly, we’ve
seen God’s faithfulness to us through the sunshine and the storms. There is so much to be thankful for.
