In the beginning

This is not about the very beginning, but the beginning as husband and wife.

I was going through some of our things last night and came across a WONDERFUL and romantic book (you know Amy), called Captivating Couples - celebrating love on the silver screen. An awesome wedding present along with an AWESOME scrapbook.

Here is in Amy's words, our first day as husband and wife.

To my most precious husband Shawn on our wedding day;

You are the blessing that I have always been waiting for. I praise God for bringing you into my life, for all the beauty and goodness you have shown me, and for the many promises before us. I swear to always honor, cherish, and adore you. I will love you for eternity!!! May the Lord bless us, keep us, make His face shine upon us, and be gracious unto us.

I love you (with a heart drawn around it).

Amy D. Campbell

Many of us experience the providence of God and take it for granted each day. I am ashamed to say, but I know I did. Amy was a once in a hundred lifetimes type of woman, and ANY man who was lucky enough to have her as a wife would have been blessed beyond measure. I know I was, and as selfish as it may seem, I keep wanting one more day, and I know that she would do it for her family, because she has wrestled with God for four years to give us; her family, her friends, and her support groups all that she had, by and through the grace of God.

I miss you baby, Mrs. Amy D. Campbell (she was so proud to be called that, and when I did, her face lit up like a little kid!!!) See you soon :o)
