Weddings

Last Friday at about 3 pm I sneezed hard twice and then felt achy and drained. I’ve never had the onset of a cold be so sudden or violent. Generally when I get a cold I feel a bit tired and sneeze a few times and it gradually gets worse before getting better. I think this cold was worse the first couple hours than it was on day two or three. Not that you’re interested in reading about my cold.

Saturday I went to a wedding. It was perfect. God seriously blessed the bride and groom on their day. The weather couldn’t have been better for an outdoor wedding on a lake; it was warm and sunny with a gentle breeze. There was probably a little over a hundred people there. It was large enough to seem like a real wedding but small enough to be somewhat intimate. The bride was beautiful and the groom...nervous.

In watching the new bride and groom this last year their desire to please God and live ultimately for him has been evident. They both have a growing relationship with God, they are both active in the church, they protected their union by having safeguards in place to guard their purity. It was great to see how all of this was evident on that one specific day. It is going to be fun to watch and see how God continues to bless their marriage.
