The Bride Wore White...


This is our little car...not the car I use for work...it is for sale...but that is not what I am writing about...

We went to the wedding of a young couple. It was beautiful, encouraging and even romantic. They were so close to the same age as my kids that it was impossible not to see them cast in a similar drama in the near future. I get more and more emotional at weddings, the older I get. It has something to do with my own sense of time passing by in my own life and marriage.

We have been married long enough to see other marriages begin and end. We have struggled through some deep water and dark days ourselves. We have passed the 22 year mark and I am more aware today, than ever that marriage is God's idea...pure and simple.

The first time God is recorded saying that something is "not good", is when he looks at Adam and sees him alone. I admit it, I don't do alone very well. Although I crave alone time once-in-a-while, it is not my best time. I am better with others. I am best with others I love. It is not good for this man to be alone...too much.

Lately I have been able to travel some for work with Peg. It is good. Tomorrow, Aimee and I will head out to Saskatoon. It is good. It will be fun to show her the city I have enjoyed the most in the past year or so of travelling. (Sorry Calgary...you just don't do it for me!). I am never sure how many more times I will be able to spend time like this with my eldest. It is a treasure...
