I pray you are going through a time of smooth sailing in your life right now. The times of comfort and ease, the times of celebration and the times of sharing life with our loved ones are to be savored and enjoyed. God gives us such beautiful gifts throughout our lives, times of deep joy and deep love.
Our oldest daughter, Angela, is getting married this summer. It is a time of planning, dress-buying, flower picking, of showering her and her fiancé with gifts and finally, we will arrive at the moment, the day they exchange their sacred vows.
I am counting the blessings as I witness her true happiness and joy in finding her soulmate. And along with her wonderful fiancé, we have the added blessings of his two young children to add to our family.
Today, savor your moments of joy. Think back in time to other days and savored memories that make you smile. Remember the blessings God has brought to you throughout your life and thank Him for the ones you have right now, this very minute. I thank God for the gift of marriage, for my husband, for the love of our youngest daughter and her husband, for the love that has brought Angela to her true love.
“Haven’t you heard,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator made them male and female,” and said, “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 let no man separate. Matthew 19:4-6
Father,
Today as we count our blessings, we give you thanks for our moments of joy, for the celebration of marriage, for the love of family, and for the gift of love.
In Jesus name,
Amen
