In celebration of our 6th year wedding anniversary...
Your love, O God, has called us here,
for all love finds its source in you,
the perfect love that casts out fear,
the love that Christ makes ever new.
O gracious God, you consecrate
all that is lovely, good, and true.
Bless us who is in your presence wait,
our trust in your desires renew.
Your love will send us from this place;
reveal your will in all we do,
that every path of love we trace
may show the world its source in you.
Hymn: Russell Schultz-Widmar
I caught the last hours of the Ann Arbor Antiques Market before it closed for season. It's a place visited by both dealers and collectors nationwide, Rachel Ashwell included. I took home only one item, an old hula instructional magazine (a gift for my hula teacher). The thing I really wanted went home with another admirer, a set of old white wooden candlestick holders. Lesson of the day: When you find something you really like and can afford, don't think twice about buying. I made the mistake of turning away the first time and was too late when I returned the second time... The dealer was a sweet old man who even gave me a little hope by letting me know to hang around for a few minutes in the event the lady who went to get cash for her purchase fail to return. No such luck of course. Him and I both shared a disappointing grin as I bid him "goodbye and see you in the spring"!
