Sixty years ago today, this man......
There is so much to say about this oh so precious couple I don't even know where to start. Over the past year I have been in Baton Rouge several times and have had the joy to stay under the same roof as Anna Mae and Paw Paw. There is always something delicious being cooked and some kind of pie in the fridge! My laundry is done every day and the floors are so clean I would eat off of them! Then there is the humor! It's exactly what you think about when you think large Italian family. Have you ever seen "Everybody Loves Raymond"? There are definitely some similarities. But at the end of the day I am always in awe of what a sweet blessing they are to so many.
I have never met another couple who is so generous! They would give you anything you need and not ever think twice about it. I have seen it displayed countless times! My favorite of course is when we have been blessed with an ice chest full of the BEST cooking you can find!
When I am in Baton Rouge my bedroom is next to theirs. I love to lay in bed and hear them say their prayers together (no not eavesdropping, just such a sweet memory I hold). I can't help but to think that those such prayers may have something to do with the fact they are celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. I do think their strong faith is in direct correlation with their strong marriage! Thank you Anna Mae & Paw Paw for being such an example and blessing to us and for establish such a legacy!
We LOVE You!!!
When I asked Anna Mae what the secret is she said, " Jesus, keep him in heart at all times, pray a lot , the older I get I pray more & take the good with the bad and sometimes there will be lots of bad."
