Always and forever faithful!

There's a mountain of laundry--and I mean that literally--that needs folding.  Sigh.  But somehow I know that laundry can wait for just a few minutes while I reminiscence about the goodness and greatness of our Lord this past weekend.  Every prayer answered immeasurably more than all we could ask or imagine!  (Ephesians 3:20)

Folks have sent me a number of photos, so this is just a tiny smattering...but wanted to remember and rejoice in God's faithfulness--

The girls getting ready before the wedding.  What wonderful young women--O Lord, there's nothing like dear friends! 

     And then there was the cake.  Oh my, God surely said, "It is very, very, very good!" when He gave man the idea and know-how to make cake!"
     "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!  Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him." Ps.34:8

And this cake tasted as good as it looked!  Thank You, Father, that You are infinitely greater, tastier, and lovelier than the most beautiful  of wedding cakes!  Oh might we delight in feasting on Your Word even more than enjoying the choicest of delicacies...(including chocolate!).

      Then, we were at the church waiting in the Bride's room--

      "I wait for the Lord, my soul does wait, and in His Word do I hope." (Ps.130:5)  "Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield." (Ps.33:20)  Help us to wait patiently and filled with hopeful anticipation on You, Father.

     "I will praise You, O Lord my God, with all my heart, and I will glorify Your name forevermore." (Ps.86:12)
    After the ceremony, all the wedding party having a blast--even though it was coooooold outside--

     And finally, my favorite picture of the night--let there be light!

     "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.  The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." (John 1:4-5)  Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You are the Light of the World and You are the Light in our darkness.  Help us to walk in the light of Your love.  Might we reflect Your light in a dark world.
     Just a few little reminders of God's faithfulness and goodness...to one little couple and their family and friends...on one little night in January...in one little city.  God's faithfulness to just one...
     But consider--God does this over and over and over again to countless millions and millions of folks...in countless places...and in countless ages...all over this globe.  He knows the names, understands the hearts, and sees the hopes and dreams of every single one of His beloved children...and God loves each one of His own individually, infinitely, and perfectly.  He plays no favorites--we are all the apple of His eye, and He is always and forever faithful; always and forever good and gracious.  What a Lord!  What a Daddy!
     Thank You, Father.  To God be the glory.
