My mother’s heart is full of joy. Our baby is
getting married in a week! I will be taking two weeks off from writing and from
a few other things. I don’t want to miss a moment of expectation, of capturing
each moment, and of savoring the memories. I pray you do the same each day with
those you love. When we witness the swiftness of the years, more and more, we
appreciate each other and sweet moments. I leave you with the two Scripture
passages they have chosen for their wedding day. May God bless you and keep you
until May 26th.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not
envy, it does not boast. It is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is
not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love
does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 1 Corinthians 13;4-7
But
at the beginning of creation God made them male and female. For this reason a
man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two
will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what
God has joined together, let no one separate.
Mark 10:6-9
The two will become
one flesh and our family will gain a son. And the Son of God will be present,
right in the center of the ceremony and in the center of their lives. Praise
God!!
Lord,
We ask for Your face to shine upon our daughter,
and her fiancé, on this special day as they join their lives together in front
of family and friends and in Your holy presence. Thank you for the blessing of
raising children.
In Jesus name,
Amen
