The tables are set, the dance floor built, the rehearsal is over, and lastly, the girls are tucked in for the night, although they aren’t too happy about it. Tomorrow, they’ll be even more buzzy when they discover they’ve been confined to the premises for the day. It’s been a long and busy day getting the backyard ready for tomorrow’s wedding reception, but these events don’t happen every day. As we’ve told all the grandkids—“One and done!”
I was too busy working today to take any photos, but if I had, those pictures would show some thirty people setting tables, arranging flowers, building a dance floor, stringing lights, and doing whatever was needed to transform our backyard from a lawn to a beautiful wedding venue. A task which could have produced tension and conflict was drama free, testimony to the quality and character of the people Jake and Abi have surrounding them. One of my prayers for them is that they would always have such a cloud of witnesses to encourage, instruct, and even correct them. Pity the couple who have no one to lean on other than each other.
Jake and Abi have each other, they have Jesus Christ, but they also have family and friends who believe in Christ, believe in marriage, and believe in them. The foundations have been laid; tomorrow they start building. May they build well.
