Puddles of sand, burlap scraps, shells from the sea and fresh flowers surrounded my sweet Aunt this past weekend. We had a day to encourage her as she prepares for a ceremony with her love.
A ceremony sealed with a ring and tied with God's word.
The menu was very simple....
....kind of like a picnic at the beach
Strawberry Lemonade & White Chocolate cupcakes
{Some of us even made sand castles!}
The theme of this day was inspired by two books...one that has touched our hearts with a challenge to keep track of ALL the gifts God has given, and one to remind us of the footsteps in the sand we will take as we make memories in the years to come.
Each guest got to take home Ann Voskamps mini booklet. A heart challenge to keep track of 7 ways a day that our spouses {or God} show us they love us. Gifts of love. Ones that will rekindle that love when socks on the floor distract us.
My dear Aunt lives a life of joy.
Her life reflects a heart of gratitude.
In the sorrow or the joy she is learning how to live fully right where she is.
{We love you sweet Amy!}
