Today is the third anniversary of the wedding of two friends of mine, Danny and Trisha. I remember the ceremony at SBCC and it was the Friday after Thanksgiving in 2004.The traditional gift for the third anniversary is leather. The modern gift is crystal. I like to give friends gifts on their anniversaries and this was no exception.
The first thing that came to mind was a whip (top pic). Though bordering (just slightly) on inappropriate, its use would not be equal. You see, Danny would use it just once and end up in the doghouse. But Trisha would be able to use it multiple times, because Danny .... well, you know.
I ditched the whip idea and settled on a travel photo frame made of leather (second pic), with an imprint by Roy Lessin, which reads “God wants us to move through this day with a quiet heart and a peaceful certainty that our lives are in His hands.”
Roy Lessin co-founded DaySpring with three other ministers and is currently one of its senior writers. Roy’s desire is for his writing to bring glory to God, to be inspired by Christ and to be used by the Holy Spirit in the encouragement of believers throughout the world.
The frame had two spaces for photos, so I dropped in their 2003 baptism pics to start them off (bottom two pics), although they will probably select their own photos to put in the frame. I still think that the whip was a good idea ... oh well.
