The Wedding Day

Today is the day of my daughter's wedding. The Coffey family had breakfast together this morning for the last time at least in this way. We huddled together after breakfast for a prayer and I don't know when I have ever been more grateful. God is a giver of all great gifts and he has given me a ton. I took Rachel to a place where we used to meet to have our father/ daughter time. It was an emotional and good time. Today will be an important day for her and an important day for us as her mother and I give her away. I think God loves weddings. They have everything He really loves...faith, love, joy, sacrifice and a high and holy promise. Today I am keeping my eyes peeled for Jesus. His first miracle was at a wedding and in the book of Revelation all of history ends at the wedding of the Lamb. So, I will be looking for Him to show up today in one way or another. And when He does, I am going to tell Him thanks. Thanks for creating family and daughters and weddings and the whole shebang and thanks for giving your blessing and enjoying it all as well. So, even if I am reduced to tears more than once, don't be fooled, I am not sad. Sometimes joy squirts out of my eyes. Today will be one of those days.
