Then and Now - a Throwback Thursday Post

It's Thursday.  The day to throwback.  And so, in honor of that tradition, I'm taking a look back over the decades, beginning back in the 1970s, the decade Al and I began our journey together.

 

We began married life in a little house on 17th Street in

West Columbia, South Carolina.  That was the 70s.



 

Then came the 80s.

 

 

And the 90s.

 

And a new millennium.

This was 2003.

 



 

And this was 2010.

 

 

A lot has changed in the years since we began our journey together.  Certainly the world has changed. Back in the 1970s we didn't have internet.  Or cell phones.  Or Facebook.  Or Twitter.  Or blogging.  We didn't even have a remote control for our television when we first married.  Gasp!

We have changed as well.  Different hair styles.  Different hair color.  Some extra pounds.  Sons and grandsons.  Wrinkles and age spots. Many different addresses since that first little house in West Columbia.

Some things have not changed.  There remains constant a deep and abiding love for each other, a love which grows stronger as the years pass.

There is also the Constant that holds it all together, the deep and abiding faith that is the anchor of our relationship.  A deep, and ever-deepening, faith and trust in our Heavenly Father and in His Son Jesus Christ. 

Through all the changes over all these years, this has never changed!

And the journey continues.

"I have been young and now I am old, yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken."  (Psalm 37:25 ESV)
