Do you remember the old television show, This Is Your Life? Well, our son-in-law's mother is an example of a person who makes the most of life. She is 83 years old and belongs to a hiking club, travels extensively, and belongs to a garden club, and is highly involved in her church. Needless to say her physical condition is so good she has no need for any prescription medications and is very agile. Having been married twice before due to her husbands' passing, she recently met a wonderful man at a church function.

This past weekend Dottie and Dino were married in Georgia. We made the trip to Hartland, GA to attend the wedding ceremony. With her family, (Dottie had 10 children and eight are still living.) members of the various clubs she belongs to, and the people from her church in attendance, the church was packed. It was a wonderful ceremony with many beautiful hymns and several scripture readings. The entire wedding was so moving that Dino had trouble keeping a dry eye, and Dottie said she was told not to cry because it would smear her mascara.
Along with a wedding comes a lot of good food. On Friday evening, Rick and Rebecca hosted the rehearsal dinner with pork barbecue, pork loin, and all the trimmings, with ice cream sundaes to top it off. The reception had an array of wonderful food that was prepared by many of Rick's siblings and their spouses. They work together so well and make a great team.
God has given us one life, and it is up to us to make the most of it. Dottie is doing just that.
Blessings and Encouragement,
Paul, Gail, Patsy and Penny
