A letter to Joy during this Advent-Christmas


This actual letter to my sister-in-law was my poetic way of congratulting her and my brother 2 years ago on their silver wedding anniversary. The quotation was from Mother Anna Dengel, founder of the Medical Missionary Sisters (1925).
  May all our couples experience "joy" in their commitments & "emmanuel" ("God with them.")

  1. What a beautiful message for your brother's wedding! Interesting concept to forget oneself to think and live for your partner. I know that 'Love starts when the other person's needs become more important than your own.'
