Better Together

"Chains do not hold a marriage together.
It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads
which sew people together through the years. "
Simone Signoret

The piece above is a work in progress. Many threads, many beads, and time. Like a marriage.

I am thankful for all the many threads, that bind our 42 years together.  Through thick and thin, sunshine, and rain, joy and sorrow, our love is a tapestry, woven by God the Great Creator, the Author of Love.

Here is a happy little love song called

Better Together.

For our celebration dinner this is what I am planning.  I am working, so the crockpot will cook the main course, which will be stuffed steak rolls. I will fix mashed potatoes and beets when I get home, and we’ll have wine too.  For dessert we’ll have cherry crisp with a dollop of vanilla ice cream.  To start the celebration we will have Margaritas.

***

May we all grow in love and graciousness with each new day that we are blessed with.

Below are some pictures with quotes on love and marriage
for this celebration.





"It isn't material things that make you happy.

The first thing

is finding someone to love and someone who loves you

and taking the time to enjoy life for what it is,

rather than what others expect it to be."

Taken from the book 'On Tall Pine Lake'




"Chains do not hold a marriage together.

It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads

which sew people together through the years. "

Simone Signoret




Love is patient



Love is kind



Love is forgiving



Love is nurturing



Love is togetherness

before starting this little you tube.)

Forever in Love
