A Touch of Romance As Autumn Spreads her Gold — 12 Comments

    • Yes, Hawaii is beautiful! That Anniversary was 21 years ago, Tracy. But God stories stay with us. When we went back to Kauai this year, we attended that same church, but the pastor had retired. Would love to have seen him.
      Glad you and Stan had a wonderful time there.
      From my heart to yours,
      Janis

  1. I love hearing about your 25th celebration in Kauai, especially the emphasis on Christian fellowship. Ours too reflected Christian fellowship: our daughter gathered our old small church group in St. Louis on a home trip from Korea. Smiles, joy and love surrounded us that day. Blessings.

    • Oh, that’s so special🌼 Thank you for sharing about your 25th Anniversary! I love hearing about God’s story in others’ lives.
      From My Heart to Yours,

  2. Romantic you are indeed and that is one of the reasons we are friends! Reminds me our 25th and how God placed a co-worker at Tarzana who used to live in Salzburg at just the right time, as I began planning our Anniversary trip to include Salzburg. I asked her if she could recommend a nice place to dine for our Special evening and she asked if I would like to dine at a Castle? She gave me the name of Schloss Fuschl. A castle built in 1450 on an Alpine lake surrounded by beautiful Alpine mountains. Talk about a fairy tale Anniversary! Isn’t our God Good to give us more than we could even imagine!

    • Oh, He is so good. That’s a story I don’t remember you telling me! I remember your Oberammergau story, though! However, Anniversary dinner in a castle tops the romantic list! Thank you for stopping by today.

    • I know! But God is so good throughout these years. He’s given us an even closer friendship. And we did get to celebrate the 25th with Christian friends like you when we got back home.

  4. What a beautiful story of God orchestrating your every step, delighting in the giving you the desires of your heart, and a church willing to walk with, honor and serve you in such a gracious way. Happy 46th Anniversary!

    • Thank you, Lisa! It was God’s amazing touch and leading that provided that beautiful story for us! How did He get it in the library book if the church had never requested to be listed–nor had they ever performed a wedding vow renewal before ours! God’s plans are greater than our plans and His thoughts far above our thoughts. He enjoys surprising and blessing His children. But not every moment of our lives is filled with extent of His blessings, yet He provides for us in accordance with His plans.

      Thank you for the Anniversary wishes! It’s been quite a year so far! Thank you for stopping by.

      From My Heart to Yours,

  5. Oh my Friend! I love this so much!!! I’m so blessed to see pics of your vow renewal. Jeff and I love you both so much!

    • Oh Marie, I’m just amazed over again at how God worked out all the details of our renewal of vows in Kauai 21 years ago. How did that church appear in a library book? How had they never done a renewal of wedding vows? And how did our loving God work it all out according to His plan–not mine! Truly amazing what a gracious God we have.

      We love you and Jeff as well, and are delighted in the preciousness of your daughter’s wedding! God bless their journey together in Him each and every day. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

      From My Heart to Yours,

      Janis
