On this day, which happens to be December 26, the physical situation could be described as contemplative, zombie-like, quiet, and thoughtful. Trying to get back to normalcy after several days of completing projects, fulfilling lists at a once-a-year speed, remembering to contact two elderly aunts, finishing baking, and mailing packages requires a full day of rest and meditation.
There is one thing that marks the importance of this day...a proposal of a marriage 61 years ago today. This episode led to a marriage that we continue to celebrate every day. Records were set throughout which may never be broken, such as, what happens when the union involves one Type AA individual and another who is Type DD. What an unusual match! In the face of such differences, how could this possibly work? Answers: Same Lord, same values, same life directions and a deep abiding love which is unshakable. We will continue to celebrate.
And to answer the question, "Do you know where your children and grandchildren are?", on a given day, it might be: Iowa, Colorado, California, Florida, Washington, D.C., Africa, England, Italy, Germany, Alaska, Japan (today), Arkansas, Texas and this list is not complete!
