"GOLDEN BUCKET LIST"


Yesterday ended week 2 of our 50th Anniversary. Our 50th anniversary will be August 9.2019…. but I decided to begin celebrating on August 10, because to me, that was the 1st day of our 50 years as a married couple.  So,  I started a gold/50 theme to carry our each week prior to our 50th. Many of these “unique to us gifts” are still whirring around in my head but the overriding idea is one of fun, mystery and refreshment to both of us as we age together.

The first week, I delivered a golden bowl of scrolled prayers on gold paper tied with golden ribbon. The inspiration was Revelation 5:8, where John describes the golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. This reference refers to collective prayers of all God’s people which are a sweet aroma that is pleasing to Him. My prayers for the first week were prayers for hubby with my request to be the wife God would have me be, respecting and loving hubby as a way of honoring him and in turn honoring the Lord. (Ephesians 5:33)
Look closely to see bowl in right corner of picture with a prayer scroll.
Week 2, the golden bowl was set aside to make room for prepping our golden dinner, which we shared with our neighbors on the patio. They were in on the surprise to see if hubby recognized  the color theme of our “”golden” dinner.

The "golden kabobs were the side for our scallops dipped in "golden butter" along with the grilled golden peaches. 
The evening ended with an “almost-full moon” which appeared “golden” to our naked eye but hard to catch on our cell phone.
Will keep you posted through out the year as we add to our weekly "golden bucket list" journey to our “golden anniversary” next year!
