We celebrated our 5th anniversary on Friday. Thanks to our sweet friend we were able to take some time during the day to have a date. We had lunch together then we went to the mall to find a gift that represented our last 5 years as a married couple (Demetrius' creative idea).
As we talked in the car we agreed on two words that signify our time together thus far: Redemption and Beauty. We wanted to find something that looked tattered but restored. Something that represented new life; something that was beautiful.
So, here it is. It's a candle box. An old cross on the front, a beautiful verse on the back. Pretty (but faded) green paint. A treasure box...a tiny, tanglible reminder of what the Lord has done in our lives as he has so purposefully brought us together.
