Today is our 14th Wedding Anniversary and I’m paying tribute to my man and giving thanks to God for His grace, faithfulness and strength in holding us to Him and one another.
I wrote this song four years ago in honor of our 10th anniversary. I recorded it in Garage Band and it is far from perfect, but so are we, so it’s quite fitting. 🙂
As the Nester says, “It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful”. She’s referring to home decorating, but I think it applies to marriage as well.
Take a listen to our love song, Sincerely, From Me.
When I look at you, I see love.
When you hold me close, I’m undone.
You have a special way of helping me.
There’s no place on earth I’d rather be—but here, with you.
What a man you are, steady and strong, faithful and true. In your embrace I love to be, as you grow old with me.
When I hear your voice, I am calmed.
When you pray for me, I am awed.
You have a patient way, of leading me.
There is no one else, but you for me. Baby, thank you.
What a man you are, steady and strong, faithful and true. In your embrace I love to be, as you grow old with me.
Ten years and our love grows even deeper, sweeter with time and so much realer.
By God’s grace, here’s to fifty more. I can’t wait to see what’s in store.
As we grow old our love will still unfold, please grow old with me.
Sincerely,
From Me.
Happy Anniversary Love! I can’t wait to see what’s in store. By your side—and in your arms—is my favorite.
P.S. Linking up with Kelly for the #RaRaLinkup and Holly for #TestimonyTuesday and then Jennifer for #TellHisStory, Holley for Coffee for Your Heart and Kristin for Three Word Wednesday.

Thank you Brenda!
Ruthie Gray says
What a beautiful tribute, Katie! Your pics are really good, too. I’m reading so many posts on marriage today, and I wrote about it too (I’m your neighbor on Testimony Tuesday). “Steady and strong, faithful and true” describes my husband of 28 years as well. He just left on a trip to Texas at 4:30 this morning and in the darkness of our bedroom, he stumbled around the bed to kiss me goodbye before taking off. He is that man to me, and I thanked God in that instant for that truth. May you have 50 more!!!
Katie says
HI Ruthie- Thank you. Sounds like you have a great hubby there. 🙂
Kristin Hill Taylor says

Happy Anniversary, you two. Marriage is such an intimate relationship and when we are under the arms of the Lord together, it makes it even more so. May He bless you with many more years and precious memories all along the way.

Hi Bethany- Thank you. I wrote this for hubby four years ago but it isn’t on my album. Maybe I’ll do another one someday and include it. 🙂
