I have had the awesome privilege to help with a multitude of weddings over the years...friends, family, clients, associates, customers....it is a happy time, sometimes stressful, but mostly happy...
I love creating the personal flowers to make a bride's dream come to life...I love working with the families, whether washing dishes, making salads or general food, cleaning in the background of family gatherings to smooth the path of the special days or simply washing the mounds of dishes that accumulate on counters watching the interaction of those around...I just like helping to make life simpler...
Sometimes I get hugs along the way, a smile, a handshake which add to the enjoyment of seeing others happy...
I go home rejuvenated, a little tired, but knowing it was worth it...another happy couple well on their way, another adventure...another chapter in the lives of another family ...life moving forward...
As Christians, we are preparing for a wedding as well...not sure when it will happen, but it is coming nonetheless...we are the bride of Christ...and wedding will be like no other...
We are learning, growing in the fruit of the spirit, we are enduring life here on earth...all in preparation for that wonderful day, that wonderful feast, our new adventure in eternity...an endless honeymoon of looking at our grooms face, living in his prepared home, singing praises, living in the glorious light of His love...
Thank YOU...help me be ready for the wedding...
Revelation 19:7-9 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.
Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.
Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
Isaiah 61:10 I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For he has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of his righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
John 3:29 The bride belongs to the bridegroom. The friend who attends the bridegroom waits and listens for him, and is full of joy when he hears the bridegroom’s voice. That joy is mine, and it is now complete.
Ephesians 5:25-27 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
