Last Saturday was the biggest event in our family in a LONG time. It was a first for us--our oldest son got married. His wife is a dear sweet girl who I feel more like I've adopted.My affection for her is above in-law quality.
Always the weepy one, I was half a bucket of tears for days before we left, and of course, at rehearsal, and the ceremony.
The spirit of God fairly oozed out the windows and doors during the ceremony. Many, many prayers had been offered on their behalf for this important occassion, as well as the months of difficulty, testing, and trials they endured to reach the altar.
All I could do was praise the LORD for redemption, mercy, grace. He is so kind and sweet to us, and seeing the two lovebirds gazing intently into one anothers eyes, not another soul was in the room to them, it overwhelmed me. I do not deserve such blessing and joy. IT is just too good. God is TOO good to me. And I am ashamed at how often I take it for granted, take Him for granted.
Please visit our site at www.boazbaptist.com/ and click on the photo of the newlyweds to see wedding photos. If you scroll down to David sitting in the wagon, at less than 2 years of age, click on him to be taken to our video page to view "A Perfect Gift" which is the title of the slideshow that opened the floodgates and so many memories came rushing at me.
My heart if full with these thoughts of making the most of the moments we have. We can only live for the now. We can't plan to do, or go, or be. All we have is this second to breathe and do our best for Jesus sake. Do all to His glory and you'll never regret it.
