I am a member of the CCA

...Cartoon Criers Anonymous


Today, I am thinking of my parents who are celebrating their 40th Wedding Anniversary.  
Happy Anniversary...and God bless you in the years to come!

WARNING....get your tissues ready and make sure you have applied waterproof mascara (if applicable) before watching this video from the movie UP :)

Life is a vapor....it is not so much about checking off all the items on our bucket lists...it is about how much we love others (and sometimes we forget that the most important "other" to love is our significant other) in the days we have.  


Why do we need this much time?  Well, I am not at a quarter of a century yet in my marriage, but I think we need a lot of practice to get good at laying down our life for another.  McKenna's teacher said something this year that I thought was important to remember...she said, "Practice doesn't make perfect, perfect practice makes perfect."  She was a very challenging teacher :)  BUT, it's true...we cannot be careless in loving others....we have to put 100% into loving them.  And, it is possible to be a cheerful giver :)
