This seems to be the season for weddings, For my childrens paternal grandparents, 3 out of their 5 grandchildren have married, or will be getting married, in less that a year. Our son got married in April to a beautiful Christian girl who is all that I could ever have wanted for him and more. My older daughter is engaged and will marry next Spring, again, to a godly partner who is also great. He is Welsh and has a really good sense of humour. Who knows, the youngest daughter may follow suit, and marry her really nice boyfriend of 5 years. The strange thing is that we have all ended up with people who have similar characters, in that they are all easy going, kind, patient, good natured, and very easy to please. God knew what we all needed.
I wish that my own parents could have seen their grandchildren marry, how proud they would have been to see how they all turned out, and to see them with such amazing spouses.
Anyway, on with the weddings. We also attended my neices wedding 2 weeks ago and our son and his wife attended 5 weddings in 6 weeks, all over the country!!!! Both of our daughters have also been to 2 each this year.
I think that its all very encouraging that so many young people still want to marry(even those with no faith), and I pray that God will bless each one of them and their lives together. The main thing for a Christian I believe, is to make sure that the one you marry is Gods choice for you. I know this is the case for me and our children, and I know that their marriages will be blessed by God in so many ways in the future.God has great plans for our son and his wife, and our daughter and her fiance, I am 100% sure of that, in fact he is already using them in many ways, both in their churches and lives in general.
Marriage is one of Gods best inventions, and I thank Him for it.
Who knows, we may even have the patter of tiny feet before too long. Cant wait!
