Have you ever wondered how one day out of the year becomes National Night Out Day or National Raspberry Cream Pie Day or any other special celebration day? By the way, today is National Night Out Day and National Raspberry Cream Pie Day, so take your special one out tonight and enjoy a piece of raspberry cream pie. Yum.
Well, near as I can figure these celebrations not only keep our economy from recession, it also helps us remember.
Sometimes we're remembering
something yummy
someone special
someplace we've been
a cause
someone we love
a first
a graduation
all sorts of things worthy of remembering
This week, hubby and I are remembering the day we walked down the aisle and said our wedding vows. He had the silkiest soft black hair that day. Sadly, time stole those gorgeous strands, but he still has dreamy brown eyes.
God has blessed us over time way more than we could ask. A home. Kids. A garden. Stability. Solid marriage complete with jagged edges. Adventures to some really awesome places. Good church. Friends.
We've had our fair share of troubles. Homeless for a time. Cancer. Theft. and more.
But even in those storms God was by our side. He has been our tower of strength. Our peace. Our comfort. Our joy.
To help hubby remember this all important day, I put a reminder on the calendar. (I put the same reminder up for the kids and my birthdays. He never misses a one.)
Now I wonder if you can figure out the color I used in my wedding. The hint is in this blog. Go ahead. Take a guess.

Good guess...but nope.
