December celebrations—keeping it in the family

·by Tamera Alexander

36 years ago today, Joe and I got married. And a little over a week ago, on December 6th, our son and his wife Kellie were married!

CONGRATULATIONS to Kurt and Kellie (Fuselier) Alexander, our son and his beautiful new bride who we absolutely adore.

WHAT a fabulous weekend of celebration it was! First, a few more pics from the wedding…

At the rehearsal dinner, a group of family members hijacked the song “Don’t Stop Believin'” by Journey and made up lyrics especially for Kellie & Kurt. So funny! (I’ll post the video of it later today, if I can get it load.)

I’m still smiling and giving thanks to God for all the blessings he’s poured out on the Alexander and Fuselier families!

And as I said at the start . . .

Joe and I celebrate 36 years of marriage TODAY! Here we are earlier this week on the beach in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Gorgeous weather . . .

And here are some glimpses from December 15, 1984 . . .

All four of our parents are safely home with Jesus now, but were definitely with us in the Spirit at Kurt and Kellie’s wedding
Our wedding party (with lots of candles!!)

Happy Anniversary, Joe! I’m so grateful for you and for our life together. God has blessed us so richly—and the best is yet to come!

Lastly, if you’ve been waiting for Colors of Truth in audio, here you go! Finally, you might be saying (and I’d echo that). It took a while. But oh what a fabulous job narrator Kate Rudd does with the Irish accents. If you have a minute, click the link below and listen . . .

LISTEN TO COLORS OF TRUTH (narrator Kate Rudd does a fabulous job with the Irish accents)

Thanks for letting me share some of the blessings God has poured into our family in recent days (and years!).

What’s a blessing you’re especially grateful for today?

With a full heart,

Tammy
