Perfect 10 Years

1   We are one and united in the bonds of God's love
2    Two together working for Jesus having fun
3    At least 3 children always needing our help
4    Four or more friends calling on the cell

5    Five short years ago little Precious was born
6    Six calls an hour from "bio" seemed to be the norm!
7    Seven years went by so fast it seemed rushed
8    Eight more reasons to praise the Lord!

        9    In the end I know that if I had to do it all over again
        10  We would do the same thing all over again--
                          for another perfect 10!

In the beginning in the West Allis Library,
then the City Yards
then on to Time Insurance --that wasn't too fun
Then Praise God for Children's Hospital....but

It was time for a personal "eval"

First Jackie Jo was born,
Quality Child Care soon after
And the awesome sound of children's laughter

What a blessing it has been
To serve the many children
Through thick and and through thin

MJ you've raised up many in the nurture and admonition of the LORD
They see how you live how you selflessly love
They want to grow up to be just like you
They want to know the Jesus inside you

I thank and praise God for knowing you, Marsha, wife of ten years
You've taught me many things, many things which bring happy tears
You've taught me how to love, how to laugh and how to cry
You've taught me how question, and really wonder why

Thank you for a Perfect 10 Years
