A wedding...

I attended a wedding today and as usual I was all teary eyed. I don't know why that happens to me at weddings. I usually feel a lump in my throat that practically makes me speechless and then the tears will form in my eyes...

It was a beautiful wedding. As I watched the couple dancing and so happy I could not help wondering what was waiting for them in the future as they start on this journey together. The good times and the bad times and how these experiences will shape their love for each other. Will they grow closer or will they drift apart with each passing event? What are the pleasant and shocking discoveries they will make of each other as they journey together?

The good book says that all things work together for good to those who love God and who are called according to His purpose so I believe that the experiences we have in life at the end of the day are to make us better and stronger people.However, the way we manage the adverse experiences or conflicts in life determine whether we come out better or worse at the end.

As I watched this couple as they were pronounced husband and wife, I sincerely prayed and hoped in my heart that they are emotionally mature enough to keep learning and growing in the art of conflict management.It is the only path to peace and happiness in any relationship involving more than just you.

To this wonderful new couple and to all who are married, I wish you God's blessing and prosperity. May He teach and guide you each day and may you also learn to obey and trust Him in Jesus name!
