My dad finished a graduate class on Friday at noon then drove from Little Rock to Searcy, Arkansas in time to marry my mom. It was a small wedding that took place in the home of the one that performed the ceremony. There was no wedding cake; there were no huge festivities. They only had the weekend for a honeymoon, but the vows shared before God and man have endured sixty years.
We celebrated this week with a houseful of family members, a fine meal, and a wedding cake. Rex and Barbara have touched many, many lives and it was a delight to honor them. When you think of the beauty of a young couple loving one another, raising a family, being a blessing to their community, and giving all glory to God, you see the will of our Father in heaven… a Father who loves celebration.
Happy New Year!
“Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; His greatness no one can fathom. One generation will commend Your works to another; they will tell of Your mighty acts. They will speak of the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and I will meditate on Your wonderful works. They will tell of the power of Your awesome works, and I will proclaim Your great deeds. They will celebrate Your abundant goodness and joyfully sing of Your righteousness.” Psalm 145:3-7
