A special bonus today, 75 years after Frank and Eva were married.
This is a tribute written by oldest son, Charles, on the occasion of their 50th Wedding Anniversary.
Photo: On their wedding day, Frank helps Eva step onto a blanket
to protect the hem of the wedding gown from grass stains.
The dress was borrowed from her sister.
Growing together in Him;
fifty years of two becoming one;
fifty years of growing fruitful in Him, together!
Knowing God!
Knowing more and more of Him;
fifty years of increasing in wisdom and knowledge,
fifty years of coming to really know Him, together!
Believing God!
Believing that what He says is absolutely true;
fifty years of learning to accept His word without question,
fifty years of learning to trust Him fully, together!
Trusting God!
Trusting Him completely, even in the dark;
fifty years of finding He is faithful to His promises,
fifty years of learning to trust Him fully, together!
Honoring God!
Honoring Him in front of friend and foe alike;
fifty years of reverencing Him as Lord and Master,
fifty years of honoring and worshiping Him, together!
Serving God!
Serving Him with everything that is possessed;
fifty years of responding to His call to serve,
fifty years of seeking to faithfully serve Him, together!
Loving God!
Loving Him with heart, soul and mind;
fifty years of receiving His love and giving it out,
fifty years of truly living and loving God, together!
