Renewed Vows

A wise friend once told me "never give up; never under estimate the power of prayer." He was right. This past Sunday one of my longest prayers was answered; thank-you so much God! My entire family attended church together. What an amazing blessing it was for me to witness my parents renew their marriage vows after 42 years together! It means so much for us to see examples of commitment to marriage in both of our parents. It is the way God intended for marriage to be, but somehow seems to be the exception in today's world. Marrige is a covenant between two people and God to stay together for life as our Pastor always preaches. We are truly blessed to have our parents keep that covenant and it will flow down to our children as a true example to follow.
It was a beautiful day and it was really nice to be together as a family in church worshiping and celebrating with them. Afterwards, we went to brunch and then hung out at their house most of the day and headed home. Maddie is hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Julie this week and we have been busy with paperwork and phone calls. We had the ALS walk kickoff luncheon on Tuesday and Eric spoke and did an excellent job as always. Eric's mom and Aunt Pat came in town for the lunch and it was hard to look at Eric's mom while he spoke because she was in tears. I know that she is so proud of her son and so am I!! The walk will be on October 11th at John Ball Zoo this year so mark your calendars and plan to join us for a fun day for an even better cause if you can! More details will follow!
Please keep praying for our home to sell and the grant to be approved.
We are in process of getting a lift van approved from the VA and are very excited about it so pray that it goes smoothly and everything is approved for that as well.
Thanks as always for praying and checking in on us. It was a rough week last week, but we are renewed this week by his grace!!
In Him,
Lori and Eric
