Thank You My Lady 9/27/2025

 Good Morning,

As I sit in our hotel room this morning I have at my side a hot cup of Door County Blueberry Cobbler Coffee.

We are actually in Door County for the weekend. My wife Rene and I are celebrating our anniversary. According to the woman who tracks everything, we have been married for over 1000 years.  It takes a team effort for us to be able to travel. We are grateful for my brother who house sits and keeps our two dogs in line. Our neighbor helps when my brother is running late. They are both true blessings. 

James 1:17 NKJV Every good gift and any perfect gift is from above and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is variation or shadow of turning.

Psalm 84'11 NKJV For the Lord is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory;. No good thing will he withhold from those that walk uprightly. 

We met at work and Rene who isn't talkative would smile and exchange greetings with me and that was about it. I started work at the hospital in 1983 and a friendship eventually developed. I invited my friend to help me chaperone a canoe outing with 75 teenagers in 1984. Rene agreed and that night after getting all the teens home, she agreed to a late night pizza. I asked if she would consider an actual date and hoping that I wouldn't hear "No thank you". The rest is history. We were married in 1986. God has blessed our little family of three and if I had to do it all over again, I would have asked her out on a date sooner. 

My point for the day is this. My wife is a gift given to this old guy and I need to acknowledge God and give thanks for the blessing to be able to call her my wife. She is the butter on my biscuit.

Have a great day. God bless. 

Marty
