A Wedding Story

This story started about 16 years ago when the leading characters of this story were in kindergarten. He was smitten-ed from day one and asked her to marry him then. She just smiled that sweet, pure smile and said she was not allowed to marry yet.
So they became a good friends all through school. Just two friends of their large group.  


 They did not date but he still thought she was the best!



They went away to different colleges.


Went on mission trips together. Just two friends in a large group of friends.

 She dreamed of a wedding with roses and pearls............

 and candle light. They learned to love the LORD and  the people of the world.......... then each other.

 On a mission trip to Israel he decided it was time and made his plans.


This time she said yes!

 What a sweet couple! Ready to take on the world and go wherever they are sent!

Eli's Day


































Last Sunday Eli's mommie and daddy promised to "raise him up in the way he should go" and the family gathered in Hahira to join them in this commitment......












....and to celebrate sweet baby  Eli. Of course there was cake!



Which I am pretty sure pleased someone.

Thank you God for Eli and his family. Bless him mentally, physically,
emotionally, and spiritually every day of his life.


And bless his parents with Godly wisdom.
