Taken from "1 Corinthians 13:13"
Gracing our wedding invitations and married life...
"And now these three remain:
Faith, Hope, and Love. But,
The greatest of these is.....LOVE!"

THE GREATEST OF THESE IS...LOVE!


Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving to Everyone! Shelter your weary spirit within the bosom of your Loved Ones and Be Happy. November 23, 2017.
