Yesterday and Today: Valentine’s Day, an Anniversary?

Jan and I celebrate 109 years of marriage today. WE have been married 109 years.  (Those of you who know our story know that is 54 1/2 for me and 54 1/2 for her. We are careful how we answer, depending on how the question is phrased. If you ask about US, WE count one more year of marriage every six months–six months for Jan and six months for me.) Every year for 54+ years we have rolled Valentine’s Day and our half-anniversary together to celebrate God’s goodness to us in our marriage.

How the time has flown! It is hard to believe. Thank you, God, for the wonderful soul mate and supportive helper you provided for us in our marriage. We celebrate our love!
