Thirty Two years ago I stood beside the man I had chosen to be my
husband and spoke vows that I believed I could and would be true to. I
did this in my own strength and because of the desires of my own heart.
As my heart, and Richard's, surrendered to the Lord and to His will for
us He made "the two one" and those vows became our true pledge to each
other. A few years ago we visited an artist colony
and purchased a vase that the artist had used ashes to create a
beautiful design from. This vase represents what God has done in our
lives and marriage and I am forever grateful. He has made us "vessels
of honor, fit for His use" and brought "beauty from ashes." Today we
will go to His house together and partake of communion as we worship and
thank the One who is faithful and true.
Most important non-Biblical lesson learned at church today: Never pick up your flute and try to play the intro to a song after JUST finishing an art project with the kids in Sunday School that involves using glue. Your fingers WILL stick to the keys and you will play a whole note instead of a sixteenth note which throws your timing off and you can't figure out how to unstick your fingers and then you have completely lost your place in the song. I am sure none of you will ever find yourself in this position, but just in case, now you know.
