A Tribute to the One Who Gave Me My One and Only
I’m sure you’ve heard funny and catty remarks said about mother-in-laws. There are those who often talk about them as forces to be reckoned with, but that’s not the case with mine. I’ll tell you about her — because today is her 98th birthday. We can never forget her birthday because it falls on this…
Love and Marriage and Love
“Love and Marriage” seemed to have been the themes in church services I attended on Sunday. The first inspiring message I heard delved into what causes divorce and one of the first reasons was because they starting saying the word “divorce”. The minister said when couples say their vows and make lifelong commitments together, then…
A Match That Was Literally Made in Heaven
Happy 23rd Anniversary to my two children – Larry and Staci Wallace! I am so grateful for your choices, your commitments and your devotion to God and each other. Today, my blog is dedicated to honor you and your example of a “match made in heaven”. And you followed through by treating it that way…
The Keys to a Happy, Lifelong Marriage
It’s not often that I would post someone else’s words verbatim, but when I heard these (on audiobook), I knew I had to share them with those I love most. They opened my eyes to my own marriage, the struggles we had early on, the ups and downs we encountered and though our journey became…
In the Sight of God and These Witnesses
Right in the middle of church yesterday, the pastor said “Please be seated. We are having a wedding now. And, up came a lovely bride, handsome groom, their two attendants, and on the front row behind the couple were their children. The pastor said “They were married seven years ago, but today they want to…
And They Lived Happily Ever After
My favorite fairy tale is still “Cinderella”. The prince falls in loves with Cinderella. He searches the kingdom for her and slides the glass slipper on her foot like an engagement ring. Next comes the story ending: “And they lived happily ever after.” NOT! Sweet imagination, but NOT reality. It’s not how real life stories…
Marriage is 50/50 — That’s Garbage! Love Means Never Having to Say You’re Sorry — That’s Garbage!
For the last three Sundays, the scripture readings in the Catholic Church, have been from Matthew 5 which includes Christ’s Sermon on the Mount. The 1st Sunday — the Beatitudes; the 2nd Sunday — being salt and light and last Sunday’s was “stepping up our game”. Well, not exactly in those words, but Pastor Samuel…
From This Day Forward
We’re in Atlanta at last — celebrating the love and marriage of my firstborn grandson, Braden Wuerch and his darling fiancee, Ruth Hays. Last night was the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner — hosted by Ryan Wuerch and Shawntel Wuerch. It was quite the spectacular affair that included not only the wedding party, but also out…
We Welcome to the World, Another Mr. & Mrs. Wuerch!
And they will live happily ever after…..well, at least that’s what we hope and pray for, but as Pastor Danny Chambers spoke in the ceremony — we all know marriage is never all sweet — there’s some challenges that they will inevitably face. Those who have been married know that to be true. But, on…
