On June 24^th, 1972, Robbi and I pledged ourselves to each other before God, family and friends. It’s hard to believe that act (promise) was fifty years ago!

 

 

1. The blessing of watching the Lord do amazing things, answer prayers, protect and guide us throughout all these years.

2. The blessing of growing and learning together to be and become all God created, saved and gifted us to be.

3. The blessing of raising two wonderful children who have grown-up to be outstanding adults who love and serve the Lord and have married terrific kids-in-laws.

4. The blessing of five grandchildren who are maturing and developing into amazing persons who are committed to the Lord and His will for their lives.

5. The blessing of sharing pain, failure and disappointment and the peace and strength that comes from overcoming challenges together.

6. The blessing of dreaming together and setting joint goals and then working to achieve and surpass those goals.

7. The blessing of teamwork (synergy) and the excitement and victory that comes from serving, working, loving, struggling together with your love and life-partner.

8. The blessing of laughing and crying with the one person in all the world you cherish the most.

9. The blessing of being two very different people and seeing how God brought you together for His purposes and your good.

10. Mike has several more blessings he would add, but Robbi censored them!

 

With Love & Joy,

 

Mike and Robbi

 

P.S. On July 1, 1972, I became Youth Pastor at First Baptist Church, Muskogee, OK. That means we are also celebrating fifty years in ministry. We are blessed!
