ANNA MARIA ISLAND FLORIDA

A beautiful place to relax and to be reminded of the power of God who created this lovely world for us to enjoy. John, my sweetheart of 47 years, and I had a wonderful time just being together and doing nothing much except walking on the beach. Every time I glimpse the ocean I am reminded that the same God who created the mighty universe and keeps the oceans within their boundaries loves me and cares about me. He even knows my name! Of course He knows your name, too, and He also cares about you. What a precious truth to hold onto during these turbulent times. As John and I celebrated our 47th anniversary we were reminded of the Lord's goodness to us through the years. A marriage that should not have lasted- I was only 16 and John was 18 - is still solid thanks to God's amazing grace. We have 2 precious daughters, 3 lovely grandchildren, 3 darling great grandchildren, 1 new granddaughter due in October, and 1 new great grandson due in August. So as you can see we have much to be thankful for, and we truly are thankful!
