Red Velvet

 

When you think of red velvet, what comes to your mind?

If you're a pipe smokin' lady you'd think of this!

If you're a woman who appreciates the feel  of this lustrious fabric,

this is the first thing that comes to mind.

If you're me, you think of these! My beautiful red velvet shoes,

a gift to me on Christmas day 38 years ago, from my boyfriend.

Or, I should say, my soon to be husband!

That's right, thirty eight years ago, on December 28th, 1973,

my fiance became my husband. My father in-law was a pastor,

so he officiated our wedding. He has since passed and we miss

his gentle spirit. I'm sure he must have been wondering how it

would all work out with two eighteen year old 'kids'  who had

only dated for a year getting married. With the Lords help, we've

made it this far!

Many thanks to you, God, for being there for us. Amen.

And to my blogging friends-I hope you're continuing to enjoy

this holiday season!
