So extremely thoughtful, and one that required so much loving effort on her part! Those are the best gifts, aren't they?<br />I'm glad you enjoyed the post and the photos. It was a memorable evening, indeed, and believe me, I know how fortunate I am to have a husband like Danny!<br />Love and blessings!Martha Jane Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620499267401065780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9009456656795153408.post-34809642873461481842017-02-16T13:58:58.199-08:002017-02-16T13:58:58.199-08:00I absolutely LOVE this post--everything about it. ...I absolutely LOVE this post--everything about it. It's not just the great dinner--it's the time and thought that went into planning something special for you. And yes, the Bible verse connection is not lost, but somehow those food photos and the story.... ha!<br /><br />My daughter did something I thought was so sweet for her husband of 1 1/2 years. She got a small journal and on each page she wrote a letter of the alphabet, and then something beginning with that letter that she loves or appreciates about him, or something related to a special memory. Then she drew a picture to go with the message. Gifts that come from the heart, whether grand or modest, are always the best, aren't they?

His reasoning is that both he and his SO have to work on Wednesday, so there will be less rushing if they celebrate before.
