I'm going to try to start something new here on the blog. And I'm going to encourage those of you who have blogs to join me and try it too. It's called flashback Friday. Every Friday I'm going to post a picture from the past. It may be from one year in the past to sixty years in the past. As long as it's a flashback, it counts.
Today's picture is of my grandparents. This picture was taken October 21, 1946. This picture was taken the day that they became husband and wife and became one of the most special, inspirational couples that God ever placed together.
If my grandfather were still living, then my grandparents would have celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary this week. They made it a few months short of their 60th.

They were a picture of love.
The song that has always most reminded me of my grandparents is Vince Gill's "Look at Us."
Look at us, after all these years together
Look at us, after all that we've been through
Look at us, still leaning on each other
If you want to see, how true love should be... then just look at us.
Look at you, still pretty as a picture
Look at me, still crazy over you
Look at us, still believing in forever
If you want to see, how true love should be... then just look at us.
In a hundred years from now, I know without a doubt
They'll all look back and wonder how, we made it all work out
Chances are, we'll go down in history
If they want to see, how true love should be, they'll just look at us...
In my eyes, and the eyes of many others, their love will go down in history. And anytime that I need to remember what love really is, I think of them.
God blessed me with some amazing grandparents.
And that's only one of the many things that I'm thankful for.
