If my Dad was alive it would have been my parents
50th - (Golden )Wedding Anniversary.
They were married on 24 Dec 1958in my church.
We have preserved the wedding invitation.
The above photo was taken on Christmas Day 1978
It was a very nostalgic day
for Mama and me.
If things were different we would have had
a large family get-together and celebration.
Here they are with their beloved grandchildren Ashish andMahima
about 8 years ago.
It was a cold January day
and they are warming themselves
with a charcoal fire

Thank you for praying for the difficult situation we were
facing. The Lord is gracious to us.
The couple involved came to us
and invited Mother and me for Christmas lunch
and they spoke very lovingly.
We were not surprised because they are God 's children -
and He answers our prayers.
This made our day golden.
God bless your Christmas with peace and joy.

Dear Amrita
This is so beautiful!
Oh! to be married the day before Christmas!
How romantic could THAT be?
It must bring sad memories back to Mama though as she thinks back and is now without your dear Dad!
I surely do hope that you and she have a happy Christmas Amrita..
Thanks so much for the lovely card.
Bernie loves it so much and we have a special place for it, so we can look at it any time to admire it and to think of the sweet lady and her Mama that sent it to us.
After Christmas season, it will be hung it on our Wall right beside Bernie's and my wedding picture
Thanks ..Love Terry

Good to hear from you, Your parents are blessed to have such a loving family. I love to think of those who have passed on as standing at the right hand of Our Father interceding for us both day and night.
Tell Mother, Blessed anniversary for I celebrate her in her 50th , he is still with her in his intercessions. Just not in our visual presence. They are still a union.
I am glad you are safe. How is it that the writers crucible is launching your note? Have you become a member or did you get out of I. (country)
This is a full morning . I fixed the family a pancake and orange juice meal.
What a lovely post to read today! Your parents made such a handsome couple! I think you look a lot like your mom, Amrita, and beautiful just like she is!
And such a wonderful answer to prayers for the situation you were having. How good God is!
Blessings to you and your mom and family and your many, many friends this Christmas!
What a beautiful photo to preserve the memory of your parents together. Praying for your mother on this special day as I'm sure she misses your father. Amrita, you are a delight to know - thanks for sharing both your burdens and your joys. Praising God for the answer to your prayer, and for your faithfulness to Him because of His grace...will continue to lift you before the throne of Grace with the joy of knowing you as my sister in Christ.
Christmas joy to you! His love is amazing...
Hugs,
Vicki
Merry Christmas to you my sweet sister in the Lord, and to your Mother. The picture of your parents is beautiful, thank you for sharing it with us.
i hope the day was filled with memories that were sweet and helped keep the sadness at bay ...
Merry Christmas too ... and we pray that the new year brings happy surprises!
Christmas always invites nostalgia and when you have milestone events like weddings, birthdays and anniversaries and even deaths near it, it is doubly so.
Amrita, may God's grace fall like a warm fleece blanket over you and your Mom and all that concerns you today. So glad to see answers to prayer as well.
Love you,
Sita
Merry Christmas, Amrita!

A beautiful couple!
My parents get married in 1946, my farher passed away 24 years ago.
Thank you my beautiful friends for your comments. How precious they are to my Mom and me.
They look so good in that photo. Its true their marriage covenent was an everlasting one, even though they are separated by time and space and there is no marriage in heaven. Awesome thought.That 's why the Holy Spirit uses marriage to describe Christ 's relationship with the church.
