HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!

Today is Victor and Marla's 8th wedding anniversary. It's hard to believe that it has been 8 years. Where does the time go? The older I get the more I seem to realize how fast these days go by.
I remember how excited we all were on this special day. It was unseasonably warm. I bought myself a new dress coat after Christmas for the occasion and didn't need it.
The celebration was beautiful.Victor and I both were so proud of Vic and were so happy to see him so full of happiness. Marla looked, as my mom put it, "regal."
She too was so happy. Fr. Ron our dear friend did such a beautiful job with the ceremony. We miss him so much. The Spirit was truly present and many guests said they felt the same joy.
Our prayer today is that you both stay close to Jesus and EVERYTHING else will take it's place. That is our promise and prayer for you today.
You've been truly blessed with each other, healthy,beautiful children, and good health. You are truly rich!
We love you both and pray for all of you each and everyday.
Love,
Mamo and Papa

The Loss of a dear friend.

On July 3 a dear, dear friend of ours, Chips Cronen returned to Heaven. He will be missed. We pray and ask for prayers for his wife Barbra and sons.
I came across this scripture that seems to be appropriate for Chips, it reads from Ephesians 6: 16-18
"At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one. And accepting salvation as a helmet, and the word of God as the sword which the Spirit gives you. Do all this in prayer, asking for God's help. Pray on every occassion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason keep alert and never give up; pray always for God's people."

This is just one thought that gives "light" to the life of Chips Cronen. He was truly a prayer warrior. I've counted on his prayers many times and will continue to do so..
