Weddings. Marriages. Romance.
Commitment. Love.
Passion. Husband & Wife.
Happily Ever After...
My nephew is getting married in November. My wonderful sister is going to be an awesome mother-in-law. When our oldest daughter got married, this same wonderful sister was head of my 'team' that helped put the whole day together. She worked for a solid week, she did everything from making sure the wedding party walked down the 'aisle' at the right cue to re-filling endless bowls of punch!! She's awesome!
So, this week, I get to go to her house, and talk about wedding plans for her son! My sweet nephew, I cannot believe he's old enough to get married, but he is. He's such a gentleman, very honorable, and I think he must be quite a romantic! The proposal, apparently was quite an event! Sweet! I'm very proud of him...He loves the Lord, and I feel certain has prayed about this decision. His future bride also loves Jesus, and seeks His face! This is going to be fun, and so exciting to watch God work through it all, and be honored in their relationship!
I love the way the Journey, what ever place we are in the New Testament, seems to go with what ever is going on in life!!! Today, the sermon was on the chapters from last week that we read on Wed-Friday...which happened to be I Cor. 5, 6 & 7!!!
Which, has everything to do with sexual immorality and marriage. And, so, here's all these great lessons that we're learning from this portion of scripture...and while I'm at my sister's these lessons will be fresh in my mind...for encouragement and imparting wisdom...or a place to go with questions.
Which also brings me to talk about one of the saddest thing I've done in a long time.
I recently watched a secular movie with our second oldest daughter. She and I watched a movie called He's Just Not That Into You.
If you haven't seen it, don't or do...which ever is fine with me (heads up on language and mature situations)...
--What makes me sad is that there is a certain amount of truth about our culture presented in that movie. Men and women who use each other, they keep looking for the right 'fit' and can never quite find it. They are taking advice from each other and acting on their 'urges'...using all the great 'lines' on each other. So, these people walk around being very lonely, afraid of commitment, and totally frustrated with the prospect of relationship.
Just sad--breaks my heart for the generation 'coming up'...
And so, sadness must be replaced with hope. HOPE. And, the best source of HOPE I know is found in the One who invented sex and marriage...
The God of the Universe...the God of Heaven and Earth!
Do not listen to the 'world' about marriage...go directly to the One with answers based on truth!
