Daily Gratitude Year 13 - Day 2: Today, I am grateful for a new marriage.
This is one of my favorite pictures from Walker and Amber's elopement in Galena, IL. They wanted to keep it simple and sweet... and they did. We were thrilled to be there with them.
This picture is one of my favorite snapshots of the day. You can feel the joy and see the happiness. They really like each other and it shows.
This passage was part of the ceremony. There is a reason it is called "The Love Chapter." It sums up the evidence of love. It notes that love is "patient and kind." Next, it defines what love "is not."
"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. -1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love never loses faith. Love is always hopeful. Real love endures through every circumstance... in good times and in difficult ones, too.
Our hearts are full as we welcome Amber into the family. We are grateful for this new chapter in their relationship, and for the many chapters ahead of them.
There will be sunshine and rain. There will be laughter and tears. Our prayer is that they face each dawn renewing the choice they made today and that they always kiss goodbye before parting and goodnight before sleep.
Today, I am grateful for a new marriage.
