Your mother was a beautiful woman.. and your father a handsome man. I feel more honored than ever to have your mother's tea cup. I will cherish it forever Sonja. <br />Blessings and love always!<br />GwenGwendolynKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847305862839809298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-9940727081496062412010-02-17T07:06:39.644-08:002010-02-17T07:06:39.644-08:00Sonja,

Thanks for sharing this beautiful love...Dear Sonja,<br />Thanks for sharing this beautiful love story of your parents.<br />When a couple to that degree involve God in their wedding plans, the result has to be good.<br />I've just visited my mother. She told about the beginning of hers and my dad's love story. How my mother did like my dad, but alas, he was not a Christian. He stayed out of town, going to school, and there he finally received Jesus in his heart.<br />My granddad, who very much wanted my mother as a future daughter-in-law, went straight across the street, as he saw my mother in town and smilingly said, "Now Arne is saved, Inga."<br />The rest is history.<br /><br />I can see from the pictures that your parents were two strong and determined persons, also very much in love.<br />How wonderful that God lead and joined them all that way across the sea.<br />I support Debbie. I should love to read a book, or a blog, about the rest of this match literally made in heaven.<br />These days we do need strong and wholesome testimonies about who God can inflict people's lives in a good way. Midst in hatred, politics and crime, I'd love to read more about the life we know exist. The blessed, adventurous life ruled and directed by the Lord.<br />I am so looking forwards to more "reality God" reading.Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-61969111511571278772010-02-16T10:41:53.654-08:002010-02-16T10:41:53.654-08:00Oohhhhh...yes Sonja, you could write a book!

Can you even imagine the prayers in that prophet's chamber? That's a woman and a man who know how to pray in the will of God. Have mercy. I could use some of those; perhaps I already have them via their lovely daughter.<br /><br />Just precious.<br /><br />~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569182682068612485.post-85091913657738354622010-02-15T15:35:22.020-08:002010-02-15T15:35:22.020-08:00"Truly living by faith."
