Today I had the privilege to coordinate a wedding for 2 of "our kids". The day started off rough. I was sick with chills and a fever throughout the night. It was raining when we got up and the wedding was supposed to be held outdoors. So, I loaded up on medicine and went off to the church to prepare for 2 weddings-the outdoor one and indoor if we needed it. We pulled the reception inside so we were able to get that whole room decorated. The rain cleared up right at the time we needed to make the call and we believe it was due to many praying and so the Lord would get all the glory for this union. The bride was gorgeous and the groom was stunned. The ceremony was beautiful and the part that stood out to me the most was the fact that they used a unity cord. They took three strands-God, Madeline, and Andrew and braided it to show that God would be in their marriage and that would be what holds them together.
Ecclesiastes 4:12
"And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken."
I am thrilled for these two young people who love each other and love the Lord. It was a wonderful day of celebrating and they are now Mr. & Mrs. Andrew Gay.
It is something we can all take away with us, especially if we are married, As we live one day at a time, we will be stronger if we allow the Lord to be the head of our relationships. Because, we want it to be...forever after!
