L.P.'s
Vows
to
Estelle
Fifty
years
ago,
I
married
the
most
wonderful
woman
in
the
world.
Today
as
we
renew
our
vows,
I
am
again
remarrying
the
most
wonderful
woman
in
the
world.
You
are
not
only
my
beloved
wife,
my
companion,
my
rock
to
lean
on,
my
nurse,
my
courage,
my
strength,
but
also
my
best
friend.
Estelle,
my
beloved...
I
thank
you
for
accepting
me
and
staying
by
my
side
when
I
was
not
always
the
husband
that
I
should
have
been.
I
love
you
more
today
than
I
did
fifty
years
ago.
I
thank
you
for
being
the
wonderful
Christian
that
you
are.
I
know
that
seeing
your
way
of
life
and
that
the
love
that
you
have
for
our
Lord
and
God
has
been
a
great
influence
on
my
coming
to
know
the
Lord.
Again,
I
thank
you,
and
I
pray
that
the
remaining
years
that
we
have
left
together
will
be
happy
and
Christian-like.
I
thank
the
Lord
sending
Estelle
to
me
to
be
my
wife.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I
thank
you
Estelle
and
also
our
loving
children
and
our
grandchildren,
our
beloved
brother
and
sister,
David
and
Linda
Stout
for
all
the
praying
to
our
Father
for
my
salvation.

Estelle's
Vows
to
L.P.
|
We
had
our
ups
and
downs
during
the
past
50
years,
but
they
were
happy
years.
It
was
a
blessing
when
our
children
were
born
and
to
see
them
grow
up
and
get
married
and
to
give
us
six
beautiful
grandchildren
and
also
to
watch
our
grandchildren
grow
up
and
give
us
three
great
grandchildren.
The
things
we
accomplished
during
our
marriage,
we
accomplished
them
together.
But
the
greatest
blessing
of
all
was
when
you
received
Christ
as
you
Savior;
something
I
had
prayed
about
all
of
our
married
life.
Thank
you
for
being
there
when
I
needed
you
and
I
love
you
more
everyday.
I
pray
that
we
can
have
many
more
years
together.

Renewal
of
Vows
By
Reverend
David
Stout
|
L.P.
and
Estelle
Burleigh
have
determined
together
that
if
they
had
it
all
to
do
over
again,
they
would
do
it
together
again.
Having
reached
their
50th
anniversary
of
their
wedding,
they
would
like
to
renew
their
vows
before
their
family
gathered
here
today
and
in
the
presence
of
God.
God
created
the
institution
of
marriage
before
he
established
the
church.
Genesis
2:18-24
(KJV)
And
the
Lord
God
said,
it
is
not
good
that
the
man
should
be
alone;
I
will
make
him
an
help
meet
for
him.
And
out
of
the
ground
the
Lord
God
formed
every
beast
of
the
field,
and
every
fowl
of
the
air;
and
brought
them
unto
Adam
to
see
what
he
would
call
them:
and
whatsoever
Adam
called
every
living
creature,
that
was
the
name
thereof.
And
Adam
gave
names
to
all
cattle,
and
to
the
fowl
of
the
air,
and
to
every
beast
of
the
field;
but
for
Adam
there
was
not
found
an
help
meet
for
him.
And
the
Lord
caused
a
deep
sleep
to
fall
upon
Adam,
and
he
slept:
and
he
took
one
of
his
ribs,
and
closed
up
the
flesh
instead
thereof.
And
the
rib,
which
the
Lord
God
had
taken
from
man,
made
he
a
woman,
and
brought
her
unto
the
man.
And
Adam
said,
This
is
now
bone
of
my
bones,
and
flesh
of
my
flesh:
she
shall
be
called
Woman,
because
she
was
taken
out
of
Man.
Therefore
shall
a
man
leave
his
father
and
his
mother,
and
shall
cleave
unto
his
wife:
and
they
shall
be
one
flesh.
Other
than
the
relationship
with
God,
marriage
is
the
most
important
relationship
that
exists.
There
is
nothing
more
beautiful
than
a
couple
that
have
been
married
for
50
years
declaring
publicly
that
they
want
to
spend
the
rest
of
their
lives
as
husband
and
wife.
We
are
gathered
here
this
afternoon
to
join
in
the
celebration
of
the
love
of
this
couple
for
each
other.
L.P...
Will
you
take
Estelle
by
the
right
hand
and
face
each
other.
L.P...
Do
you
promise
to
continue
to
love,
cherish,
and
honor
Estelle
through
the
remaining
years
of
life
together
that
God
may
grant
to
you?
(I
do)
Estelle...
Do
you
promise
to
continue
to
love,
cherish,
and
honor
L.P.
through
the
remaining
years
of
life
together
that
God
may
grant
you?
(I
do)
You
have
vowed
before
God
that
you
desire
to
continue
in
the
sanctity
of
marriage.
Do
you
have
anything
that
you
would
like
to
say
to
each
other?
(Vows
to
each
other
are
said)
Your
family
and
friends
gathered
here
congratulate
you
in
this
decision.
(Prayer)
As
a
token
of
the
continuing
and
growing
love
you
have
for
each
other...
L.P.
you
may
now
kiss
Estelle.
