Something to Celebrate

I love living in a posture of thankfulness. It makes it hard to be grumpy!

Today I have many things to be thankful for. Should I write about the beautiful sunset I saw on my drive home from work today? Should I write about how I am thankful to even have a job to drive home from? Or should I write about the fact that today is my parent's WEDDING ANNIVERSARY??

I think you know where I am going with this:)

That's right, folks. Today is the day that my parents, Thame and Suzi Fuller, got hitched. Since then, they have entered the ministry, served the Lord and their community in multiple churches, raised (and are still raising!) three kids, all the while teaching me what a marriage should look like.

Look at these crazy kids swing dancing at Downtown Disney! :)

Now, please don't misunderstand me. My parents don't have a perfect marriage. But no one does! However, they do have a relationship that daily seeks to honor each other and God, and that's something to be thankful for. They love and respect each other, and make decisions together; that is something I really appreciate.

I wish I could have found some of their wedding pictures! My mom's hair was so long....and my dad's....well...let's just say he hasn't changed that much over the years. ;P

My mother has taught me to take action and stand up for myself. My father has taught me to love and respect myself, no matter what anyone says. Together, they have taught me to be a lady.

Thank you, Lord, for my parents, their marriage, and the ministry they do TOGETHER for You.
