A Celebration!
This past Saturday, we joined John’s parents for their 70th Wedding Anniversary party. They invited many of their friends from Eden Home for refreshments, fellowship, music, and a special time of renewing their vows. It was a beautifully blessed day. God has been so faithful to keep them together throughout all these years. What a testimony they are to us!
Carl and Martha Lavin’s 70th Wedding Anniversary
February 24, 2007
(A Poem by their son John Lavin)
The twenty-fourth of February, we celebrate today,
A special couple where there are, many good things to say,
A long life shared together, for these past seventy years,
Being faithful to each other, through many joys and tears.
Carl and Martha became one, in nineteen thirty-seven,
A marriage built on God, they will one day be in heaven,
Their love for each other, grows stronger through good days and bad,
And touching many lives, they make others joyful and glad.
A simple life built on Christ, love, virtue, values and trust,
Not going to bed angry, they make forgiveness a must,
You can feel the warmth of their home, where music fills the air,
And see confidence in the Lord, meeting their every care.
Dancing in years past, exercising, playing forty-two,
Watching Lawrence Welk, counting their blessings, a life so true,
Dad used to hard work, and exhibiting a servant’s heart,
Considering Mom’s best interests, each day from the start.
Raising two children, and now four grandchildren to carry on,
A godly heritage and example, that won’t soon be gone,
Where husband and wife can say with words so true,
Let me call you “Sweetheart,” I’m in love with you.
