At my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary celebrations at the beginning of May we children ended our readers theatre and slide show by thanking our parents for the many things they had done for us. Of course we couldn’t include all the things we are grateful for but we mentioned some key things. We thanked Mom and Dad for………
Providing a warm and supportive family atmosphere and being such good role models for us by………
remaining faithful and committed to each other through good times and bad
investing time and effort to maintain good relationships with their own siblings
and in doing so teaching us the value and importance of a close family.
planning and paying for family trips where we could all enjoy each others company
accepting each one of us for who we are
and appreciating our uniqueness and individuality
putting so much effort into recognizing and celebrating family birthdays
maintaining the cottage for so many years
It has remained a stable meeting place
for us
and for our children
hosting holiday gatherings that included traditions like Scripture reading, music making, prayer, gift giving and great meals
teaching us the value of hard work
and doing our best
being supportive grandparents their grandchildren could count on
for love and care
giving us the assurance our family will always be there for us
Thanks Mom and Dad!
