Family Life

They were the hosts for the marriage retreat on Saturday in Indy. We made a weekend out of it with the Collins's. I have never been to a "conference" more finely done. It was obvious that the best was put into it,everything tied together(except the musical guest,who kept singing about traveling). It was enhanced by being with others who desperately wanted to insure a wonderfully fulfilling marriage that pictures accurately Christ and the church. It was a weekend of laughter and tears,hugs and kisses,praise and worship. Shawn did a great job of getting us a hotel that was extremely nice for a great price. Sauna,pool,jacuzzi,restaurants,quiet room. The end of the conference they had a special song and a small dance and renewing of wedding vows that were better than most I have ever heard all based on scripture not just fluff. Those few minutes with my husband meant more to me than my entire wedding and will be remembered as my "real" wedding and the vows made my "true" vows to the man God has given special to me. A big thank you goes out to My God, Our wonderful friends,and to a great church who made it available!
