July 21, 1954
Seventy years ago today.
Born in Hannibal, Missouri.
A move to Fort Wayne, Indiana
would then be home.
That little red wagon still resides in our garden.
ROTC at Concordia High School in Fort Wayne.
Some high school and college days.
Engagement to Connie- Summer 1981.
Many blessed years in between.
with our family at the beach together in June.
We don't take it for granted that we can be
together. They are precious times.
The Denninger sisters worked to make the custom made hats,
A very fun Scavenger Hunt was put together for all the #dengrandloves.
Our Vintage 1954 party was kicked off
with a family favorite-
Low Country boil.
the charcuterie board, and great decorations.
A layered ice cream sandwich cake
was a big hit with the grands.
It included finding many of Papa's favorites.
Twizzlers, Golf Balls,
Espresso Coffee,
Faith Crosses,
and Guitars for everyone.
It was a wild night and I don't think
we got a photo with everyone.
The grandchildren made a very special gift of a cross
with a favorite Bible passage and all of their thumb prints.
"And let the beauty of the Lord our God
be upon us, and establish the
work of our hands for us."
Psalm 90:17
70- that is a whole lot to celebrate.
So many blessings.
So many gifts.
John, we give thanks for all that you are,
and all that you give to us all without restraint.
May the Lord bless you with good health and
years to serve Him in His Kingdom.
We Love You.
So fun to see these pictures of PJ's youth, and through the years of ministry and family! I love how you all work to pass on the Faith to all the littles, and share little snippets for all to learn from. You are all such a blessing to so many, and God has certainly blessed you two 10 times over! Love
