Today we got a letter in the mail from friends of ours who are getting married in December. First of all just getting a letter via snail mail was exciting - we ususally don't get anything in our mail box except bills! They had an engaged couple retreat as part of their premarital counseling and I think writing this letter is something they were asked to do. Here is part of what they wrote:
"B & I want to thank you for being such good role models as a couple to us. During our weekend at Engaged Encounter we realized how good of a couple the two of you make. We are glad we have a chance to witness through the two of you, just how a strong a couple can grow together."
DH and I really try to quietly live our lives as an example to others, we try to be the best people we can be and lead by example. Its reassuring to know that someone is noticing and at least we are making a difference in someone's life. Our Pastor always says the best way to share our faith is to quietly live it. Even if this letter was required as part of their course, I'm honored they chose us.
That is incredibly sweet of them--I am a HUGE fan of snail mail that is not bill related!
ReplyDeleteWhat an absolutely wonderful surprise to find in your mailbox. It truly is a tribute to you and your husband to have been picked as an example they want to emulate.

That was very kind of them. It sounds as though the two of you are living as you wish, as a beacon of Christ.
