April Shower

On a blustery Saturday in April, my two youngest girls

accompanied me to a lovely wedding shower for my June bride!
Abby helped her sick Mama make the chocolate covered strawberries

that morning, and after we had loaded them up, off we went!!

To see what we learned about making these, click here.

My bride and her family are special friends of the Duggar family,
and my bride's Mama asked Michelle Duggar to give a few thoughts
to her daughter on this special occasion.
Michelle really is an engaging, delightful, lovely person
who genuinely loves the Lord,
and she shared several marriage tips that she and her hubby compiled

that have been really helpful for them.

What a blessing to be reminded of these great truths:
Have a personal, daily Bible time, and then prayer time together as a couple.
Make time for dates, and put perfectionism aside.
Don't withhold praise, and never stop having a learning spirit.
Remember and use these words:
"I was wrong.  Will you forgive me?"

Prayer over the bride with Mrs. Duggar, the bride's Mama,

and the bride's future mother-in-law.

Aryn hit it off with Jordyn Duggar,
and now has a new friend!
