Our church is redeveloping their website, it is really shaping up nicely. There are pages for committees and ministries to describe what's going on within the life of our congregation. We have a "Wedding Committee", they have chosen to use this photograph for their page; for a very special reason. As youngsters this couple met at Sunday School and grew up within our congregation, their families knew each other; they dated throughout high school and graduated. They went their separate ways. Seven years later fate brought them back together, at, where else? At church. They fell in love again, as adults, dated for three years and married in June of 2004.This picture-perfect couple is my daughter and son-in-law.
Their relationship hasn't always been picture-perfect, not at all. They have seen tragedy and heartbreak up close and personal, more than any young couple should; and yet, I have witnessed a forging of their love through it all. They handle life and all of it's joys and sorrows with grace and dignity and LOVE. I am so very proud of them. They represent love and committment and a Christian life, living out God's promise day to day.
And so, as we step into Valentine's week, let's and celebrate love and all that it represents.
Happy Valentine's Day!
Happy Valentine's Day!
Life is Good!
