A Wedding Ceremony

Communion, baptism and the wedding ceremony; why is it that some ceremonies elicit emotion from us no matter how many times we take part or witness it? All have been instituted by God and they point to something greater (our souls knows this). The wedding ceremony may be the greatest:

  • it points to the past, for we witness God create a new oneness before our eyes as two become one - we think of creation

  • we celebrate the present, for the closest communion between two individuals has taken place and it is based on a vow - our relationship with God is based on his promises to us.

  • it points to the future, for we are the bride of Christ and some day we will come together with our redeemer

Thank you David and Amber Austin for giving us strength from the past, joy in the present and great hope for the future.

Tim, so good to see you and your family at the wedding. I can't seem to see the photos in the last 4 entries. Would love to see them!

It was great to see you also Aunt Karen. Not sure what the problem is with the photos, for I talked to a couple others and they were able to view them. Perhaps an internet setting needs to be changed on you computer.
