The Lord has been good to me as always. The wedding that I am in the midst of coordinating for two of my friends is going well so far. Today's event was the wedding service in church.
Praise the Lord He held the weather and gave us all a cool overcast day. From the start of the morning when the Bride had to be dolled up; to the Groom picking her up; to him being sabotaged by the Bride's sisters; to the church service; to the traditional tea ceremonies; and finally the end of Day One, all went as smoothly as they could have been.
During the Processional, it was quite funny when the first Page-Boy with the ring-pillow was taking his own sweet time walking down the aisle (oblivious to the timing of the music) thus holding up everyone else behind. He also dropped the ring pillow on the floor several times as he was playing with it.
The second Page-Boy got a bit nervous and suddenly from a jumpy, laughing and loud kid, he became so serious that he just marched down stiffly without a smile. The Flower-Girl and Bridesmaid did very well as they strolled down beautifully with the bouquet of flowers in their hands.
Of course the Bride and her father did wonderfully too - the one time in the Bride's life that she would be doing so as she prepared herself to exchange the wedding vows with the Groom. For the father, it was a proud moment for him to now hand over his daughter to his future son-in-law so that they themselves can start a family of their own.
It is always heartwarming to see two lives coming together before God after which the vows had been said, He made them one. Truly this is the miracle of love. The love that was first given to us by God in which He demonstrated the true extent of it when He sent His Son to die for mankind because He loves you and me deeply.
Praise the Lord for teaching all of us how to love. Hallelujah!
I am tired. My flu and cough are still not easing up. My knee-cap is still painful - it got quite bad when I was at the service. But life has to go on so thanks be to God for all these that I am going through... I am sure God knows my limits and He will surely make me well in His time.
Round Two of the wedding tomorrow - The Banquet. I pray the Lord will continue to guide me and every one involved.
"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:1-8 & 13
