Celebrating 59 Years of Marriage November 20, 2024
Our Story
More than 70 years ago, two little people were created, worlds apart. Helen Christine Wala was born in Germany, and George “Bill” Morris was born in North Carolina. In 1959, they found each other in Connecticut and became instant friends. Though often they were many miles apart, they never forgot each other. In 1964, they became sweethearts, and on July 23, 1965 they were engaged, and were united in Holy Matrimony on November 20, 1965.
The years have brought us many challenges and many miracles. Two of them were beautiful baby boys. The first was Peter George Morris and 15 months later came little Michael Anthony Morris. They have grown into handsome, responsible gentlemen. Peter married Robyn, and they gave us three precious grandsons, Peter II, Joshua, and Mitchel. Michael married Ruth, and they gave us two beautifull granddaughters, Heather and Michaela. We are now the proud great grandparents of nine great grandbabies; Olivia, Daisy, Pierce, Keleb, Boaz, Parker, Ryann, Robert and Novalee. God has been good to us. We are blessed on this 58th anniversary, and looking forward to many more together.
In 1990 we celebrated our 25th anniversary. Our two sons and their wives had a celebration for us with a lot of our friends at our church. I found a VHS and put together a clip of that celebration. Hope you enjoy. Click the link below to view the You Tube video.
The Spiritual Meaning of 59
Number 5: In the Bible, the number 5 signifies God’s grace and favor towards humanity. It represents His goodness, kindness, and love. The number 5 is also associated with the five senses and the ability to perceive the world around us. Additionally, it symbolizes divine protection
Number 9: The number 9 represents spiritual completeness and divine finality. It signifies the end of one phase and the beginning of another. Number 9 is often associated with the Holy Spirit and spiritual gifts. It carries the energy of spiritual enlightenment, faith, and the fulfillment of God’s promises.
The Spiritual Message of the Number 59
When we combine the meanings of 5 and 9, we can understand the spiritual message behind the number 59. It symbolizes God’s abundant grace and favor in bringing about spiritual completeness and fulfillment in our lives. It is a reminder that God’s blessings and protection surround us as we journey through life.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” – Jeremiah 29:11
