Some time ago my nephew asked me to perform his wedding ceremony yesterday. The wedding was in a little town south west of Terre Haute, IN. You may have seen in the news where they received over 10" of rain over Friday night resulting in power outages and a lot of flooding. Many family and friends were unable to get to the church - which didn't have power until a few hours before the wedding. Included in those unable to make it were the pianist and violinist. We delayed as long as they could because Andrew was going to sing to Erica (as a surprise) during the ceremony - and they were going to be the accompaniment for his song. They eventually found a way to get to the church - after most everybody had departed for the reception. But fortunately, several people were still there for pictures as he sang to his bride. Christ was honored in the ceremony and I am certain He will be in their marriage also. Just wanted to share...

Thanks for sharing! Sometimes things don't always turn out as planned but when God's hand in it, we can rest assured that He sees a bigger better picture than we do in the long run.

Hi Jim!  Do you know how to make God laugh? Make plans! lol  But, even in His humor, He blesses us. I'm so glad Jesus was glorified! I'm sure part of that was because of you! Thank you for sharing, God's continued blessings, in all you do my friend!  NOTHING that happens, happens for NOTHING Significance Of The Jewish Prayer Shawl Why All The Fuss Over Obama???
