Tetradecade

It’s time to talk about the elephant in the room …

Because apparently ivory and thus elephants symbolize the 14th Anniversary.

And this lovely lady has been married to me for 14 years this fine day.

She has shown great patience and wisdom over the past tetradecade, been a wonderful helper, and the best of friends and dad jokes.

What time is it when an elephant sits on your fence?

Time to get a new fence.

She has been involved in ministry, cooks so many meals, and leads kids at school and church so well.

Basically …

I love this woman.

Thanks for 14 years so far!

VerseD: 2 Corinthians 9:6

The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.

2 Corinthians 9:6, ESV
