Do You Hear Them Ringing….Wedding Bells?

“Mr. and Mrs.”

“Happily, ever after…”

“I do.  Me too!”

“All because two people fell in love….”

Love is in the air!  Or at least it is in my neck of the woods where Wedding Season is in full swing.  I don’t remember so many weddings taking place in the past as they have this year.  Showers of many kinds, along with weddings, are coming fast and furious.  For the first time ever, I even reviewed a book for newlyweds:

I have always been the official gift wrapper in the house.   While I get gifts ready, I busily pull wrapping paper off rolls and make ribbon into bows. Despite still recovering and working to stand again, my family has discovered I can still wrap gifts, even in bed.

Lest you think I am being put upon to do this, I am not.  It is great for me to do something normal.  And have I ever been doing something normal!  So far, fourteen gifts have been wrapped and taken to happy occasions.  As you can see, there are a few more waiting for their soon-to-come celebrations, and additional weddings are on the way.

If you are getting married, congratulations!  If you are a parent of a child that isn’t married, consider praying for your child’s future spouse.  It is never too early or late to start.  Ask The Good Lord to guide someone very special into your child’s life.  There are lots of places on-line to help get you started.  This is one I like and it can be modified for daughters.

It goes without saying you will always pray for your children.  Asking The Lord to send a future spouse that loves your child deeply, is kind, considerate, and a true believer in God will be a blessing that doesn’t end.  Think about what other requests can be added to the list.  Picking a mate is a life-changing decision, so ask the creator of love for help.  Love is so important to God that the 13^th chapter in 1st Corinthians is devoted to it, where in part it says:

“….if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing…Love is patient, love is kind… Love never fails…And now these three remain: faith, hope and love…But the greatest of these is love.”

I wish all newlyweds the Lord’s blessings on their lives together.  If you are in a different stage of life, I ask God to bless you as well.

What do I hear, few notes of The Wedding March, or perhaps the tolling of Wedding Bells?  They are calling me to wrap some more…Watch out when rice, bird seed or bubbles are sent in your direction!
