The Wedding

"Worship the Lord with gladness come before him with joyful songs."

This was on the front of their programs. 

Josh and Lindsay Wallick! Yeah, they got married tonight! What a special thing to be involved in their wedding and to help them in their new life as couple together glorifying the Lord. The wedding was beautiful, the bride was glowing as was the groom. The groomsmen all stood in their place and the bridesmaids walked down with grace (HA! that ryhmed!) One of the flower girls got scared just as she was going down the aisle and ran back the other way. I felt for her. 

I love going to weddings at my church. They are unlike anything I have ever seen. They are truly there for a worship service. The focus is not on the bride and groom, but on the Lord as they have the congregation sing in songs and the Gospel is preached. It's really so great! And the vows!!!! WOW!!! I have never heard vows like that before. They are really long, but so beautiful. I couldn't be able to do them justice and recite them back to you, but the one of the lines that I love is where they both declare to each other that they are sinners saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and that they can do nothing good on their own. I think that is a good reminder for married couples to have...and everyone else too. It was really a wonderful wedding.

I spent the whole day at the church helping out in the reception hall and getting that ready and then making the church sanctuary look nice with decorations and then running around like crazy and making sure everyone was in their spot. It was a joy to serve today.
