Bitter Sweet

Yesterday I had the opportunity to go to a friends wedding and watch as they take vows to love and cherish and honor one another, and to grow closer together and closer to God. It was a beautiful wedding, Krista looked beautiful. The wedding was like none other that I have ever been to and it was really cool. Her father gave a "charge". If you are like me you may not know what that is all about, and well I didnt but I learned. You see Krista's parents instilled in her the importance of waiting until you are married and when she was younger she made that vow to her father and she kept a promise ring. During the charge her father spoke of Krista, his love for her, and how she made that commitment and vow to herself, her faher and to God. She kept that commitment and so during the charge he spoke of her commitment took her promise ring back and it was then given to her soon to be husband. He had some words of wisdom for the couple. It was really a beautiful thing...but then I began to think about my daughters and the day that they get married... who will walk them down the isle..who will give them away, and what about the father daughter dance....???? I just dont know?!

Hey Miki - I really need to get you a mirror dear friend. My first thought, "You will, Miki! Their very beautiful mother will be walking them down the aisle." How do you miss that?

That's not the only possibility, but focus on what you are giving your girls - a mom who loves them tremendously through discovering more fully how much you matter to God!

You don't get to know now, but you really are safe to trust that it's all gonna be ok...whatever happens.
