Registry stuff...

Dear family and friends,

Registries and showers and wedding gifts are an amazing blessing, and we can't thank you enough for the kindness and generousity you have already shown us. At the same time, we really want to communicate something to all that read this post...its a bit tricky to find the words to say this, but I'll try to do so...We just want all of our friends and family to know, that we are not in want, God has provided for us richly through the years - we have shelter and food and more. No amount of stuff will ever satisfy our greatest needs, because these needs are spiritual, not physical. While we are humbled and jubilant at your heart to bless us as we start a new life together, we don't want anyone to feel burdened...we don't want to focus on things, no matter how wonderful and helpful they may be.

Having said all that, please be released from any burden or expectation. Please keep your focus on the relationship we have with you and the blessing from God that you are to us! And please know that we are very grateful to God for that relationship and for your kindness and generousity!

1. Black N Decker waffle iron...
(Jonathan says: my dad makes waffles from scratch - they're DELICIOUS. On some Sunday evenings, we would have waffles and icecream sandwiches...this little machine worked so well and for so long that Mom and Dad eventually bought a second one. They also make a fine griddle surface if you flip the plates.)
