A MOMENT LOOKING BACK


  • Our honeymoon at Lake Tahoe in 1982. Dinner at an Italian restaurant.


  • Our honeymoon at Lake Tahoe in 1982. Lake Tahoe is behind us.




  • Jer. 29:11 For I know the plans that I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.


  • Sometimes in a moment while thinking of other things, you end up taking a trip back into time. That was what I was doing this morning as my mind was wondering. I ended up back at our honeymoon in 1982. When I saw this picture, I decided to post it and make a comment about it. We were having dinner at an Italian restaurant. We had wanted to have a steak, but the people at the other restaurant were so discourtious that we got up and left. Good decision! Because this was some of the best Itaian food I have ever eaten.

    I thought of the verse above because of where I am today in life. As I look back over the years I can see the Lord's hand at work. He has blessed me beyond what I could expect. A family, Christian Brethren, and great Friends to name just a few of God's many blessings. He gave me a future and a hope which even today keeps me looking forward toward what He yet has instore for me. Thank You Lord for all you have done. I'm retired now (maybe semi-retired), but I realize with the Lord my future is very bright.

    You are looking quite dapper in the photo Steve. The happiness shows on your face. You have married a Proverbs 31 wife. You are very rich indeed (verse 11).
