With less than one week away, there are many feelings which we are experiencing as parents of the bride. Of course, we are feeling happiness! Happiness for Jessica and Andy. Thankfulness. Thankfulness to the Lord that He allowed them to meet and fall in love and decide they are meant to spend the rest of their lives together as husband and wife.
Yes, some tears. Tears as we go back through old pictures and bring back memories of fun times together. We remember those big blue eyes and long blonde pigtails blowing in the wind as she rides her bike down the sidewalk. What a wonderful gift we have been blessed with the last years! One like none other! We aren't losing a daughter, but gaining a son! She'll always be our daughter; just in a different way.
As we look back at when Jessica was given to us from the Lord, she wasn't given to us permanently, but on loan for a time. When she was little and school age, we did our best to raise her for the Lord. We give Him all the glory for how she has turned out. He gave us His wisdom and strength to do what we felt the best way to teach her about the things of the Lord. As she marries Andy, he will now be her protector, provider, and life-time mate. Our prayer for them is they will also carry on and teach their children, should the Lord bless them, all about the things of the Lord; to grow up in the nurture of His love and care.
To God Be the Glory Great Things He Has Done!
