Denise and I were involved in another online platform and it was through her, that I finally joined Steemit.Thanks so much for your wonderful reply @roleerob It is a privilege to get to know you better, especially considering the fact that we have much in common spiritually.
I haven't written much about myself on a personal level here but there might be a post you may be interested in reading so I will try and hunt that one out and get back to you.
John and I celebrated our 50th Wedding anniversary in a quiet manner during the early stages of the Covid lockdown. We spent the time reminiscing and thanking God for all His amazing blessings during these last 5 decades.
Our family are planning a proper celebration later on in the year at a holiday resort for us when the restrictions have eased sufficiently and I am so looking forward to that. Our 3 married sons and daughters in law, our married grandson and his wife and our other 6 grandchildren will all be there so, it will be amazing and most definitely a treasured highlight in our lives.
Music has to be high on the list for its creative power, especially with its ability to influence us emotionally, physically and spiritually. Music plays a large and important role in our lives and when a musician or singer has been anointed in this field, it is indeed something special.
I do appreciate your support and I look forward to reviewing your posts and reading new ones as you have the time and inclination.
Blessings.
Thank you @trudeehunter, for investing your time, in our "conversation." I do not take it for granted.
50th wedding anniversary - what a wonderful milestone to reach! Sounds like lifetime memory plans are being made for later, so I can imagine what that post will be like! 🙂 So very sad our "new normal" world requires you to put it off, but it seems like you are handling it with a very gracious attitude.
If our "number of days" extend that far (we enjoy good health, at this point), we have talked about holding our 50th anniversary here:
Dogwood Canyon is a wonderful destination outside of Branson, Missouri, for enjoying all of the rich diversity of life found in the famous Ozarks region of America. While neither of us grew up around there, both of our fathers have deep connections to it and our (exactly once ...) only visit there was so memorable, we have thought to do it again ...
Very nice to read your perspective on music. We certainly share that in common. Much like artistic ability, I make no claim to any musical talent either. My mother, however, raised us in a home where classical music was played all of the time. That and worship music, so music is very important to us.
As an Australian, Trudee, you may enjoy this post I wrote awhile back for the Christian Fellowship community "in here." We find the music of this remarkable group to be very uplifting. They are (as much as I can discern) truly worshipping vs. simply performing. I believe we are all blessed who experience what our Lord has done through their creative gifts.
God bless and keep you and your family! ✝ 🙏 👋
Many thanks for sharing your post about the group Cityalright My husband and I have listened to a few of their songs and have now added them to one of our playlists. We hadn't heard of them before but will definitely pass their music on to others we know will enjoy them too.Oh what an idyllic place @roleerob It looks like the perfect venue to celebrate a special anniversary.
This is the type of music we really enjoy as it is all about the worship and little to do with the musicians........but of course, that is what makes skilled and sensitive musicians. They are motivated to tell a story or to transport their listeners to a place where they cannot help but respond.
My apologies for the late response. It's been quite hectic around here for a couple of weeks.
Blessings in abundance. Trudee.
Glad to hear from you again @trudeehunter and learn this wonderfully inspired worship team has been a blessing to you and your husband. Rarely has any music had the impact on us they we have experienced in listening to their songs.
If we are having a challenging day, we find their All My Ways Are Known to You song to be "just the ticket" we need for a quick uplift!
Onward and upward!! 🙏 👍
