11 Years Ago

Eleven years ago, this is where Howie and I stood before God, our family and friends to commit our lives to one another in marriage.

Today we will renew our vows in the very same spot, this time with just a few present, but still with the same importance as the day we entered into this most sacred covenant of marriage.


During our ceremony, we will hear 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

This reading, as well as other readings chosen for today, remind Howie and I of our commitment to each other, our family and most importantly to God.

Happy anniversary Howie! It is a very blessed day here in the Avery House.
