It is a rare occasion when you get to see a couple celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary. It is even more rare that you get invited to their 50th Celebration. Well, that's exactly what happened. Manuel and Margarita Mota celebrated 50 years of marriage. Their selfless love and serving hearts now have 8 children and 27 grandchildren who also reflect this serving heart for others. And my wife and I were honored to attend this celebration. The choice of food was Middle Eastern while the eating music consisted of a Mariachi Band. And nearly all of the audience was related to the Mota family.
The setting of around 90 Dominicans, Middle Eastern food, and the Mariachi Band left us with an experience we will always remember. La familia (the family) atmosphere brought warmth and laughter every time you turned around.
While I have had the privilege of coming along side of the Mota family in their humanitarian efforts, nothing compares to the joy of knowing members of their family on an individual basis. Whenever you come across hearts like these, I would encourage you to take time and invest into those individuals and families who in turn invest into the lives of others. Congratulations Manny and Margarita. Dios te bendiga.
