Weddings and Marriages

Congrats to R&S on their marriage on Saturday.  It was pretty hectic with the guests and setting up, but again, it's such a blessing to share in their joy :)  This wedding was really significant to me because their relationship is one of 3 that I really look to as an example of when God shines even brighther in their lives as a couple; where the total is more than the sum of the two parts.  Their passion for God's glory was really evident in all the sharing during the day; and the fact that their wedding vows were not only to each other, but also a vow to serve their family, friends and community was the true symbol of their hearts.  The fact that their wedding didn't seem like it was only the beginning of a marriage to each other, but a beginning of a new type of service or minstry, had just put God in the forefront of everything. 

I was reminded that even though most people in our society can readily agree on any moral discussion that love for a wife or husband is a nobler life goal than fame, legacy, money or power and influence), there is still a greater love.  The love for God.  I was reminded that in a marriage between Christians, it's not just about two people being together, but more importantly, two people being together in Christ, for Christ.

That's so cool.
