This is a plaque that my parents gave Tyson and I when we got married. It is so true. We are not perfect and we falter many times, in our marriage and in our life. However, this hangs on our wall and we get to see it everyday. We may not pay attention to it everyday, but everyone once in a while we glance up to see it and it reminds us of the right things. I just wanted to share this with all of you because I love it and hope someone else will too.
