On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

I thought it was because she was upset with something Craig had done. Boy, was I wrong!

Here's the email she sent.

I had to share it when I seen it because it made me think of him.  When we first got together he drank a lot and was known as a drunk and I still remember the day he stopped like it was yesterday.  It was our 1st, 4th of July together and he did not drink.  We were sitting on a golf cart watching the fireworks down at the docks and I finally looked over at him and said, “are you not drinking?”.  He smiled and said, “Nope.  Don’t need to”.  Pretty much from then on he really didn’t drink that much.  Ya, he still gets shit hammered sometimes but I’m ok with that.  (For the most part)  But he’s nothing like he was before me and he did that all on his own.  People always came up and said how “I” changed him.  I always told them it wasn’t me that changed him that it was a choice he made all on his own.  And it was. 


This was my reply to her:

This brought tears to my eyes.

I so want for you two to have a marriage that lasts through your entire lives here on earth. One that is full of children and family and friends and laughter and love.

Take from them all ignorance, hardness of heart, and contempt of thy Word; and so fetch them home, blessed Lord to thy fold, that they may be one flock under one shepherd, Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, world without end.
