Susan LaffertyPromises made and kept, anchor the heart.
Steady our steps.
Bring comfort in the dark. And courage for the day to day.
Wholehearted commitment and follow-through reflects and reveals the faithfulness of our God.
As we celebrate Christmas each year, my husband and I also rejoice in another anniversary. Remembering promises we made to one another.
We drive up the mountain. Travel the winding road through saguaro forest. Vegetation changing as we climb toward the upper elevation.
And pine trees.
Cool air.
Rock.
It was a last-minute wedding. An unforgettable event. Singing about true love. And walking through the unexpected.
The love song put me and my guitar there that day. In the old sanctuary with its stained glass windows and antique pews.
The church secretary had called a few days before.
A young couple was engaged to be married. The young man had just received military orders and would be shipped out the following week. So they’d decided to get married that weekend. Would I sing?
