On this day twenty years ago, my husband and I met for the very first time. I could have NEVER imagined how quickly the years would pass. It seems as yesterday. Sometimes we go back to the spot where we met. Our lives have been blessed beyond words. God has been more than gracious with us. The first eight years were extremely hard...we were lost then and the effects of sin were taking its toll on our lives. All the nights I cried for our lives, the fights, the harsh words ..these were not easy times but all part of God's plan for us. God reached down in mercy and cradled us both in His loving hands. The journey since has been hard as well..but different. We are now enlighted by His Word and Truth. I have been blessed with a GREAT man. As I type the tears are flowing freely remembering all the years and being thankful for God's grace. Today, I have know way of knowing how many mores moments, days, weeks, months, or years God will give us in this life but I pray they will be used for His glory.

God is certainly good. We have recently had messages at church about His goodness, and what it encompasses.
Thanks for sharing this post. It serves as a reminder to "roll back the curtain of memory, now and then; show me where you brought me from, and where I could have been!"
Kim,
Yes it is sobering to "roll back the curtain of memory now and then; show me where you brought me from,and where I could have been". I don't know if you are aware or not but the Saturday before the first Sunday we went to church I had everything I owned packed, three kids at my side and heading to a divorce lawyer Monday morning. I was scared to death and just plain tired. I did not know what lay ahead but I was ready to leave the past behind. I loved Jesse so much it literly hurt but the pain that he brought to our lives outweighed the love at the time. Besides in our minds marriage was nothing but a piece of paper anyway. Oh the ignorance!!
Always mindful of God's mercy,
Amy
I can only say "Thank you Lord".
