True

One of our YSA's was married this morning - invited us to the ceremony.  So love when that happens.  This morning was particularly memorable.  The official wasn't especially charismatic or full or presence, at least not by the world's standards.  But when he opened his mouth to speak I was spellbound.  One of those occasions I wished to have a photographic memory, and wished the same for the young couple getting married.  It would be extraordinary to be able to go back in years to come and pluck that memory from the shelf and be re-inspired by the words that were spoken.  There were more wet eyes there today than dry.

Later on we went to their open house - which seemed like more of a family reunion (the bride is one of 9 children).  How remarkable that we felt almost adopted into their large clan.

We heard the word "true" a few times today.  I was so struck by this word I looked it up in the dictionary.  Lots of meanings.  The applicable one here:  honorable, faithful, steadfast (my favorite word).  How appropriate that it was used in conjunction with admonitions and blessings for this young couple embarking on their earthly journey together.  There has been much to ponder today.

They looked so young!  The Husband remarked that we probably looked just as young when we were married.  How blessed I feel that we found each other.  And how I wish I could remember what was spoken at our ceremony.  More pondering would be quite beneficial.

Woke up to the winter wonderland of snow that has been fairly scarce this year.  (Our young friends will most likely remember that it was snowing on their wedding day.)

The Husband plowed and plowed and then shoveled some more.  Our entire area is under a winter storm/snow warning from now until Wednesday.  Today's gratitude:  for The Husband's little John Deere that makes clearing the driveway and front walk so pleasant.  (I think the reason all the guys in the neighborhood get right on that snow removal is because they so enjoy their snow removal toys!)
