We’re very thankful for our Lord who came to rescue us from what we broke: a relationship with the one who made us for our enjoyment of him and his own glory. To be restored to a right relationship with God the Father through the reconciliation of his Son (Romans 5:9ff) is the gift of God. Our hope and prayer and resolve is to stay married to one another until we die. We made that vow to one another over 29 years ago. By God’s grace, “Lord give us many more Christmases together – magnifying what Christ did for his bride, his church, for us.”

God bless you with his tender mercies!

Ivan and Cheryl
