Dear friends, my daughter's blog has a link that will take you to a love letter written from a mom to a daughter who is about to be married this coming Saturday, February 16th. The author, Beth Moore, also writes, creates, and leads wonderful bible studies that several girl friends and I have and are enjoying. Even my own daughters and friends elsewhere have been doing Beth Moore bible studies. In any event, the letter from Beth to her daughter, Melissa, is one that any mother who has seen her daughter off in marriage would write. We remember certain childhood events, hope for the best, wish them well, love the man they have chosen, and hold our breath not wanting the last few days of our family to end or change, but knowing inevitably it will and should, and must. It will end, but also bring wonderful new chapters of family that we couldn't imagine while we were raising these munchkins suddenly turned adults. They bring young men into our lives who give us hope and confidence that all will be well not only for our daughters, but the world at large. The changes also will bring beautiful, sweet grandbabies that remind us how precious every good and perfect gift from heaven is...I praise the LORD for sweet, sweet memories of my little girls now women and their own wedding days though at the time tears flowed freely. So to this amazing mom who is sending her daughter down the aisle, I share your emotional point of view and rejoice with you at the life you now give to another and the world at large to share. Many blessings to Melissa and Colin.
Here's a beautiful invitation to all of us. http://livingproofministries.blogspot.com/2008/01/requesting-honour.html
