Mark and Mimi spent a cold wintery night in our living room on January 10th, 1985 uniting Sue and me to over 41 years of marriage. Not only did they make the sacrifice to perform that Iowa marriage so long ago but set a standard for all to follow on how to live it. Mark's example of how God wants a husband to be has stuck with me for all of that time.
I'm encouraged by some words from a favorite hymn:
There's a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar;
For the Father waits over the way,
To prepare us a dwelling place there.
In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
In the sweet by and by, We shall meet on that beautiful shore.
I love you and miss you little brother, see you later.
