Saturday was our anniversary.  Six years we’ve been married.  We’ve been together for nearly twelve!  Saturday also happened to be one Miss Magnificent’s birthday party.  My Hunk went out to pick up the birthday cake and returned with these…

I was utterly and completely surprised.  My kitchen has smelled like our wedding all week 🙂  That was the extent of our celebrating on Saturday but tonight we get a real date night.  And Harry Potter.  How silly, right?  But he is my best friend – through and through – and when our life together is over, it will be like breathing the closing of one highly extravagant praise, a deeply honest prayer…to the One who has stitched us together with the threads of grace and time. 

Joshua, you truly are the love of my life.  Happy Anniversary!  Every word of this song makes me think of you…

We will have love
We will have pain
There will be days and days and days that feel the same
We will have fear
We will have joy
And maybe little girls and little boys

We will have friends
We will have peace
There will be nights of lights and music ’til you sleep
We will be strong
We will still break
We’ll live through so much more than we can take

Amen
Amen
With the dawn, we all begin again
Amen
Amen
What is done, and yet to come
Amen

We will have hope
We will have doubt
There will be memories we could never live without
We will have tears
But there will be grace
There will be prayers that we never thought we’d pray

Amen
Amen
With the dawn, we all begin again
Amen
Amen
What is done, and yet to come
Amen

In the sun or the storms
The flood or the flames
Let everything come, and I’m the one to blame
In heartache or hope
I swear I’ll say, I’ll say

Amen
Amen
With the dawn, we all begin again
Amen
Amen
What is done, and yet to come
Amen
