49 wonderful years

I could never imagine life without you. From our first date till today, you have been my everything. 


As my everything, you challenged me to be all I could for the Lord. You loved me through the most trying of times. You have never faltered or failed in all the time I have known you.


I still remember dreaming of having children together and then God gifting us the four most wonderful children any parent could dream of.


You have lived in so many different houses, in three countries, various ministries that most would never believe. You have served and loved people all over the world. 


Today, I want you to know that I am the most blessed man ever. Thank you for being such a wonderful friend, wife, mother, grandmother, and most of all, colaborer in the Lord's work. Thank you for it all. I love you.


I am looking forward to more life together with you.
