Happy Anniversary

What a happy and holy fashion it is that those who love one another
should rest on the same pillow.
~Nathaniel Hawthorne

Sean,

It is unbelievable to me that thirteen years of marriage have already passed. It seems that as each year passes and we walk together through the dailiness of life I see you in a whole new light. I find you fascinating and amusing all at the same time. It is my greatest joy to be your wife, to watch you love our children, to hear your thoughts and to be loved by you.

Thank you for being faithful to our marriage covenant and for thirteen incredible years. I'm forever yours.

Your Beloved,
Monica

"...continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. Do everything without complain- ing or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life—in order that I may boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing...." Philippians 2:12b-16

I often want to be the one to do big things for God. This verse reminds me that it is in doing the small things well and without complaining that I can be most useful to Him. So when I'm taking care of the sick and sweeping up the floor again and just got sauce on my only white shirt and somehow managed to drop a box of crayons down the dryer vent and my friend is hurting and my child is frustrated with school and I really don't feel like I can answer one more question.... I remember that this is my time to SHINE AGAIN.
