Celebrations

The Groovies are headed to the coast this weekend to celebrate Kelley's 25th wedding anniversary. The Groovies are all about celebrations, especially if is has to do our our marriages or our families. Since all but two couples are in blended marriages, it's a treat to honor one couple's dedication to making it work after all these years.

Heaven knows, the politically correct gang is not on their side. Hollywood celebrities are worshiped for their willingness to change spouses on a regular basis just to keep things fresh and exciting. Jumping off a cliff into the ocean would do the same thing, with a lot less emotional turmoil and baggage

I'm one of the Groovies who went through the pain of an unwanted divorce. I'm happily remarried but as shocking as it may sound, I would have preferred being a widow over being a divorcee. At least I used to feel that way. I've since forgiven my ex-husband for my pain. I'm still working on the pain it caused our son. But God is good, and He's helping me work through the tough stuff and replacing it with joy.
