Twenty-Two Years Ago

Twenty-two years ago, on this day,

at 10:30 in the morning ~ I married my Sweetheart.

We were young.  We were happy.  We were full of hope.

We had no idea what joys and sorrows lay ahead.

We didn't need to know.  It was a blessing that we didn't.

By God's Grace, we were building our lives together on the LORD.

And, He is Faithful.  SO Faithful.

We have nothing to fear when we are HIS.

At our reception we sang "I Cherish the Treasure of You" to each other.

One part of the song includes these words ~

"This sacred vow I make to you, does not contain an "if",

though I'm aware that trials lie ahead.

I will love you, and pray with you, and through it all I will

stay with you, our home will be a refuge of unconditional love."

It's a beautiful song and very meaningful.

And, it's all possible with the LORD.

We have had many happy times ~ many joy-filled times.

There have also been times of sorrow, 

as well as trials and troubles along the way.

But, God is Faithful.  He does all things well.

Prior to our precious Austin's passing,
we had ups and downs in our lives...as everyone does.

However, nothing compares to the depth of this sorrow.

We've never gone through anything like this.

But, God is Greater and He is Deeper.  

His ways are best and He walks this path with us.

Last night, we tended Austin's grave together.

It's what we did for our anniversary date.

Twenty-two years ago, we could not have imagined ourselves here.

But, we are here.  And, so is our Precious Saviour.
Each step of the way.

Many Blessings,
Camille
