His Presence

Have you ever wondered . . .

. . . What will I be like in His presence? What does he really look like? Is there a fragrance while standing close to HIM? If so . . . What is the aroma when you are standing there next to him? Could I look sincerely into his eyes (since we all know that i LOVE eyes and am captivated by them)? Or would his very being stun me to the point I would bow immediately? Would we laugh so hard together that I would wet my britches? ;-0 Then laugh again so hard we could not breathe because it was funny? Would we begin to peel away my layers of myself so that it would just be REAL and be comfortable? Would his hands be gentle on my shoulders to pick me up? What would his face say with out words? When He speaks will it be like a song to my soul? Will I reach out and touch Him?

ALL I do know is that I will definitely recognize him because He IS the I AM! I've been waiting my entire life to be with him . . . I can hardly wait to fully being in His presence. Just the very thought gives me great JOY! I to like Mary will just be content to sit at HIS feet.

"Thank you Jesus Christ, My Lord for being YOU!" I am thrilled to be in His Presence.

40 ;-)

Today what an amazing day for two very special people!

Uncle Beck and Aunt Joan celebrate the 40th and it inspires me again!
Just like it did when we were at their 25th Celebration.

Uncle Beck and Aunt Joan grafted my husband, Kent and I into their lives when we were just newlyweds way back in the day! ;-) I so appreciate how they loved us and have been instrumental in all of our children's lives even the one that is in heaven, awaiting for us all to be united. Yes they have ALWAYS been here for us and showing us how to make it through life's rugged and rewarding coarse!

Their home was our home TWICE, the first with a revolving door, and the second as an apartment in their basement but none the less it was HOME! We watched them, learned from them, and have been thankful for them. Little did they know but they even added to our lives by showing us about parenting in a very real and positive way! We will always have a very real and special LOVE for them in the coarse of our lives. Thanks for being our Priscilla and Aquilla type mentors to teach us and Love us all at the same time!

We Love You both tremendously and are thrilled to celebrate the joy of wishing you both a Happy 40th Anniversary today - thank you for your examples!

With all our LOVE!
Kent and Ana
