The Best Things in Life Aren't Things

There are so many things in life that make me smile. (Blessing #1167). But the best things in life aren't things. The value of family, friends, and faith points us to the realization that what matters most in life is all wrapped up in people and the Lord. (#1168)

Of course, the Lord and all that He is, is at the top of my list. (#1169) And second is the man who stole my heart. (#1170). Yesterday was our 25th wedding anniversary. (#1171) 25 years! I'm sure you're thinking that Chad and I don't look old enough to be married 25 years. Well, maybe just one of us does. Just kidding, just kidding.

Interested in a flashback photo?

25 years ago, our silver anniversary seamed like a long way off. But here it is already! God has truly blessed me (more than I deserve).

 

Since my brother and his family are back from Arizona this week (#1172), we thought it would be fun to celebrate on the day of our anniversary, with our families. After all, they're at the top of my best-things-in-life list too. (#1173)

 

I love this! My sister-in-law Alimah made it for us. (#1174) She has been blessed with the gift of creativity. Unfortunately, the only picture I got features Chad blinking. But that doesn't matter, because I get to look into his non-blinking eyes every day. (#1175) Here's to the next 25 years, honey! Cheers!
