Joyful Wedding Celebration

We had the pleasure of attending the wedding of a good friend's daughter yesterday. It was so encouraging to see two young people desiring to honor God as they begin their life together.

The celebration after the ceremony was a joyful one. Families laughing and dancing together. Christian brothers and sisters catching up.

So easy to take for granted the good gifts God gives us.
