I pray peace over each of you, and<br />a sacred ceremony that brings the couple a solemn vow with the support<br />of their family and friends. I pray for you especially, since I know a<br />mother's heart on this so recently. I hope you take in the moments<br />with all the people surrounding you that love you so much. It is a<br />surreal moment to be surrounded by loved ones celebrating a new<br />beginning, new life together. God will see them through. When each of<br />the kids graduated, I wrote them a letter of the pride and joy I felt.<br />When Lindsay got married, I told her, this is not that letter and<br />handed her a letter of the best advice I could muster for longevity in<br />marriage. It had a totally different tone but I hope she saved and<br />reads the letter again and again. Like you, I know the ups and downs,<br />and am convinced the only two reasons marriage works is the Lord's<br />Hand and two very willing souls committed to stay the race. Love is<br />wonderful, but covenant is the staying power for us, anyway. I pray<br />those same prayers over Jessi and Brandon today for a life together of<br />joy, good health, much love, and children, should the Lord provide,<br />and lives centered in His Perfect Will for them. You are on my heart<br />this day. Drink in the joy. Rest in His Love for each of you. Much<br />blessing to all.<br /><br />Love,<br />Annetteannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12993065518117027383noreply@blogger.com
