The Wedding!

(Cameron and Ethne, Ringbearer and Flowergirl)

Mr. & Mrs. Eric Cameron!


I imagine that many of you pray for your children. I’ve prayed about many things, but foremost are two requests. First, that each child entrusted to us will come to know the Lord Jesus in a fully personal and powerful way. Next, that if the Lord has planned for them to marry, that their mate will be a perfect God-designed match for them and that the two will share great joy in becoming one (for the rest of their lives.)

My heart is so thankful that the Lord has answered these prayers I’ve held up to Him. More than that, I believe He is the very one who planted the desire in my heart to make these two requests in the first place—for He has desired these to be fulfilled in my children’s lives long before He created each one and loaned them to me.

So, now I’ve witnessed our youngest exchanging heartfelt vows with the woman he loves, and she with him. There is something sacred about those words passing out of the heart through sincere lips—“Oh, Lord, give them the strength and determination to faithfully fullfill their promises to each other, day-by-day, year-by-year!”

It will take some time before I feel rested and that our life is back to normal. But great once-in-a-lifetime celebrations are worth all the effort beforehand and recovery time afterwards! We enjoyed all the out-of-town family who came to share our joy and all the new family we’ve gained through this marriage. I used to think that when my children grew up I’d lose them, but the truth is, I’ve gained many new people to love— daughters and son’s-in-law and grandchildren. The blessings just increase and this is wonderful blessing! Maybe now I’ll get back to blogging on a regular basis (although I’m not sure I’ve ever been very regular about blogging).
