27


June 7, 1986
Jeffrey Keith Thompson and Susan Hays Thompson
were united to each other at the Sardis United Methodist Church


The reception was beautiful and the cake was delicious,


especially the chocolate cake baked by the bride!


Subsequently, the happy couple embarked on a honeymoon cruise.


The had fun in the sun with each other.




They wondered what wonders their future would hold.


Christmas, 1988
Keith and Susan are eagerly awaiting the birth of their first child.


New Years Eve, 1989
The family takes a visit to Crested Butte, Colorado.
They wonder what wonders would come into their lives after midnight.


Many years and children later, the happy couple join friends
David and Alicia (taking the photo) LeRoux in the Abacos.



Subsequently, they vacation at the beach during Spring Break
with their six children, 3 boys and 3 boys.
They wonder what wonders lie ahead for them.


The couple grows in their love for God and for one another,
leading them to adopt ten more children, 5 boys and 5 girls,
between 2002 and 2012.


June 7, 2013
(27 years after their wedding day)

Keith and Susan Thompson give thanks to God
for giving them the strength to wield love's power,
for their marriage and the joy and security it holds,
for their sixteen children and the fullness of life they bring,
and for the unbreakable cords of faith, hope, and love
that bind them all together.

He came that we may have life, and have it abundantly.

They wonder what wonders lie ahead.
