A little over a year ago I posted a blog about my mom and dad who at this point have been married for 27 years. I spoke about the struggles that they have been thru and had been going thru at the time. If you need a recap feel free to follow the previous post. I’ll start at the end, I left off my first post on this with the following: Are you with someone that would go to hell and back with/for you without breaking a sweat? Or will they run at the first sign of rain that is the real question. My mother said she’s in for the long haul that’s what vows are for and when I get married I won’t have it any differently. If you are married or thinking about marriage try and see the big picture and make sure God is in it!

Though my parents have been thru financial hardships, health issues, raising kids, a grand child, losing their home, they never left each others sides. They toughed it out and weathered the storm and in one year God and having faith, love and a solid foundation has brought them through.

Not too long after my post my dad told me about a new casino opening, I told him about some positions he should look for and he was hired, he’s now been promoted once with a second promotion on the way. I told you we lost our home, that our whole family had a part in having built only to lose it to short sale. Three months ago may parents moved into a beautiful 3 bedroom house in a beautiful neighborhood, and they are home owners again. Where do you think they would be had someone given up? On the darkest day they had faith and saw the bigger picture. So many people lack the ability to see the bigger picture. I told you about the trials it wouldn’t be right to leave out the triumph.
