Some Thoughts on the Road

Yesterday morning as I rode to the county jail to do volunteer work, I had some wonderful memories in my thoughts.  Not only being Easter, it happened to be our 40th anniversary.

 Some thoughts on the road:
  • I'm thankful that Amber agreed to marry me.
  • I can't believe she's put up with me all these years.  
  • I'm thankful God has blessed us with our family.  
  • Forty years ago I didn't know that my love for Amber would be greater today than it was then.
  • I wouldn't change a thing.
These years have gone by way too fast.  Treasure each day.

God's speed.

  1. My helmet is off to y'all, 40 yrs and going. Congrats.

    Kudos also for the volunteer work. I have served with Kairos prison ministry over the years. Good stuff.

  2. Congratulations! Reflections like these help greatly with perspective. Having a Great Counselor that gives us navigational beacons helps a lot, too. I guess the key is to give God efforts to bless.
