Weather and a wedding
I am excited about another grandchild getting married this weekend and I am also praying for good weather. The wedding is being held in the mountains and today it is rainy and on the cold side! The weather in the mountains is usually cooler and could possibly get snow rather than rain. However, Jesus is Lord of all things and can command the sun to come out and provide a beautiful day for the wedding. He commanded the wind to calm down as the disciples were fishing on the sea, so I ask myself do I have the faith to believe he will do that for us if the weather doesn't get better? I believe God answers prayers and does it according to his will for each person or situation. So I will continue to ask and then leave it in his hands, for he knows what is best for every prayer that comes before him. There will be a tent with heaters, so we will all be toasty warm if the temperature doesn't warm up. Of course these are all really very human concerns before any big event, however I recognize that the most important event of my grandson's life is about to take place as he promises to love, honor and cherish his future wife. It is a BIG deal to promise to live the rest of your life with this one special person. In my fifty five years of marriage, I have found I didn't have to do it by myself as the Lord was always with me. In good times and in bad, he gave us the guidance we needed to get through whatever we were dealing with. He has been with us throughout our marriage and this is the only way we could have reached the milestone of so many years together. I trust he will do for my grandchildren as he did and is still doing in my marriage. Marriage is like the uncertainty of the weather for this mountain wedding as they may have to wait until the last minute to see if it will be warm and sunny and in marriage you sometimes have to wait for the Son to come and help you solve a pressing problem. Dear Lord, please grant them a long and happy life together!
