Sane, Simple, Sacred: "Wove and Mawwage"

"Wove and Mawwage"

Our friends...

Earlier this week, we joined 13 other people around the table to celebrate

the 50th wedding anniversary of our friends.

They plan to host similar evenings over a period of a few weeks

in lieu of one big celebration.

I think it was a STELLAR idea!

We, the guests, carried in the food.

We were asked to bring a wedding picture or two.

I took our album. I haven't had it out for a LONG time.

June 5, 1971

I "wove" this man!
I also believe I had a wonderful photographer - though I didn't
realize how important that would be at the time.

"Mawwage. Mawwage is what bwings us together today. Wove, twue wove...
So tweasure your woves forever." (from The Princess Bride)
Would you believe I've never seen this movie? But I HAVE heard this line.
Many times!

What a great idea to have celebrations for couples! I think this is a wonderful idea, too, Rebecca.
You and your husband are indeed a beautiful couple.
Love,
Jackie

Hi Rebecca,
Very nice post. Congratulations to your friends on 50 years of marriage, that is great............
What a great idea to do a number of small get togethers as a celebration, that way you really get to spend quality time with
those that attend. I have to say I like small parties best.....
Cause I am a one on oner and a quality time person...........not
a crowd person.
Liked seeing your wedding pictures, you were a beautiful bride with you handsome prince. Such fun to look back at our pics,
altho by todays standards and changes they look almost laughably
funny, still precious to us.

Hope you are well my friend,
Love and Blessings, Nellie

Happy 50th to the Anniversary couple! And I loved seeing your wedding photos.
Doesn't seem that long ago, does it? Where does the time go???
Ray & I were married two years after you. I look at our pictures and I think we were such babies!

You were a nice looking couple then and you are a nice looking couple today! And more important you seem to be a perfect fit!

'Love the idea your friends had for a few get-togethers rather than a big bash. And I love their idea for everyone to bring their wedding pictures!

Love and Prayers,
Eileen

"We simplify, not just to be less busy, even though we may be right to pursue that. Rather, we simplify to remove distractions from our pursuit of Christ. We prune activities from our lives, not only to get organized, but also that our devotion to Christ and service for His kingdom will be more fruitful. We simplify, not merely to save time, but to eliminate hindrances to the time we devote to knowing Christ. All the reasons we simplify should eventually lead us to Jesus Christ!" (Donald S. Whitney)

Dedicated to my sister-in-law, Beth--a TRUE home manager....

"I work for a King. He has put me in charge of his home. When He comes to see how I have managed His possessions and His children, I do not want to be found wanting. I want to do my best. Everything I have is on loan from Him. I have room and board and a job to do, but it is all for Him. Therefore I want to dress my best and do my best in all my work. I also want to be creative, for this is a sincere attempt to glorify Him and His beautiful creation. How I manage my home is a form of worship to Him." --Lydia Sherman

"A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry,
and see a fine picture every day of his life,
in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul."

~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Contentment makes poor men rich.

-Benjamin Franklin

"What I am gradually discovering is that in the writing I come in touch with the Spirit of God." ~ Nouwen

~~"Reading without reflecting is like eating without digesting."~~Edmund Burke

C.S. Lewis: "To trust Him means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in trusting a person if you wouldn't take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him."

"To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common--this is my symphony." William Henry Channing

“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Apostle Paul: "But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14)

"It's a good thing to have all the props pulled out from under us occasionally. It gives us some sense of what is rock under our feet, and what is sand. It stops us from taking anything for granted. It has also taught me alot about living in the immediate moment. I am somehow managing to live one day, one hour at a time." Madeleine L'Engle

FIVE CERTAINTIES
WITH WHICH TO
START YOUR DAY

God holds you. Each day he carries us in his arms. Psalm 68:19 NLT
God sustains you. THE LORD is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack. Psalm 23:1 AMP
God covers you. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust. Psalm 91:4 AMP
God pours His love upon you. Through each day the Lord pours his unfailing love upon me. Psalm 42:8 NLT
God will not fail you. The unfailing love of the Lord never ends! Lamentations 3:22 NLT

THE BLOGGER'S PRAYER Lord, help me to learn to spell without spellcheck, manage to visit all that visit me, and post regularly - all in 5 minutes a day, so that I can clean house and take care of my family. Help me to not look at every occurrence in my life as a blog post, and to quit taking pictures of weird things to share as well. Please Lord, help me to stop talking about my blog friends as though they are next door neighbors or someone I have known all of my life. And help me, dear Lord, to think of something witty and wise to post tomorrow.
Love, The Dust Bunny Hostage
