He that goeth forth and weeping, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Psalm 126:6
March 20th, the first day of Spring, Gordon and I celebrated our fifty-first wedding anniversary. This season (Spring) is special to me for that reason and I am always in awe of the new life popping up everywhere in the form of flowers, budding trees and green grass. A glorious sight after record breaking snowfalls for the Midwest in February.
We were out on an errand today, enjoying some rare sunshine, when Gordon received a call on his cell phone. It was a lady in Florida calling because today was her "salvation anniversary" and she wanted to thank him for sharing God's simple plan of salvation with her two years ago.
What a season of rejoicing we had after that call! Praise the Lord for the privilege of "bearing precious seed."
We have been in the ministry since 1977. Our calling to the ministry has included pastoring, evangelism and disciple work, as well as missions. We have been married over 50 years and have three children who have blessed us with six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
