Dear Friends,

Today (24th August) Jackie and I celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary.

I highlighted in my card to Jackie that during the first decade we bought our first new home and we were blessed with our daughter Ava (who will be 3 in a week's time)
I now look forward to the 2nd decade and it's like we're starting again.
We've bought another new home and are expecting our 2nd child in 3 weeks.

I also mentioned in my card to Jackie (which she has not read yet.. she's still sleeping..Shhhhh.. wink ) that during our wedding ceremony Father Constantine Tsagaris and Father Peter Karras (Who is now the Greek Orthodox Bishop of Africa) said that only God can separate us.
I told Jackie that as long as we have Him in our lives and our marriage, we can do anything.

Please pray for us, our marriage and the health of our baby to come.

Thank you

Brad (who is just about ready to keel over from working so hard on the new house)

Dear Brad:

I join in prayer for both Jackie and you and your children (1.5 biggrin ) to have another decade of marital bliss! Getting past the first 10 should be the hardest! wink

Let the new houses coming! Or, let the babies coming?

Dear Brad,

Happy anniversary Friend!

And I can't imagine that the fact that you were married on Ukrainian Independence Day has anything to do with your interest in the UGCC and EC Churches as a whole? smile

Cheers,

Alex

Prayers for Jackie and Brad, may they see their grandchildren's children. May they celebrate their 75th anniversary together. May they grow closer each day, may they make each other Holy. I pray through the intercession of St. Joseph and the Holy Mother of God. Lord have mercy on them!

God grant unto Jackie and Brad many blessed years...
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen....
