48 and Counting!  

Posted by Benjie in , ,




Today is a special day. On this day in 1959, my parents—Thomas Preston Potter and Martha Jane Weaver—were united in wedlock. Highlights over the years include 4 children, 8 grandchildren, 37 years in the public school classroom, highs and lows associated with serving the local church as pastor, retirements, and I could go on. My folks have celebrated their anniversary by celebrating the birth of a grandchild, taking a cruise, and this year had a driving vacation that took them all the way to Canada and back.

If I could put into words the reasons I have to be thankful for my parents and their faithfulness to one another it would boil down to example. They have lived an example of what family is to be, what marriage ought to be, what love can be, and what faithfulness to the faith should be. Thanks Mom and Dad. Thanks for the example, thanks for the love, thanks, and thanks again.
