Notes |
- Carl & Lorene were married Thanksgiving Day. The weather was beautiful but the roads were muddy. The following day we went to the photographer to have our picture taken. That same day I helped clean the dirty floor at the folks' house. The wedding party party the evening before left its mark there. We did not take a honeymoon.
A beautiful memory which cannot be erased is the time our dad took to have devotions before we left our home for the ceremony in church. He read Romans 12 and remarked in German, "Children do this and things will be well with you." The beautiful prayer that followed will be cherished forever.
We were blessed with 4 children of whom we are pround including their families. Our constant prayer for them is that they will be a sincere witness for the Lord and an honor to Him. To date our family numbers 41. (GeJc p. 100)
