My adult male-child has married. Blissfully happy. Wonderful woman and both faithful to a God of
their understanding. I am completely overwhelmed
in knowing how far he has come…
33 years ago I had the cutest little skinny boy that came out
screaming and kept that up for years. He
just seemed discontented all his life.
Most of what I could share about him has been already. I prayed through so many of his life choices
that I honestly came to a place of acceptance and gave him to God. Several years ago he quit fighting anything
and anyone and he too gave it to God. I cannot
express enough how totally in awe this whole transformation has left me.
I will say that the choices over the past few years have given
him a new life. And now, a new wife. She is precious and loves him with all she
is.
During the rehearsal dinner I nearly cried. Going home afterwards my heart was so
full. Perhaps his life would be
different than anything we had wished for.
So, ALL of the extended family as well as immediate was
there. ALL! Imagine that.
I have a group photo that had all of the family but not those two, since
they were busy greeting and enjoying the reception. But, the point is they all there knew what a
miracle they were seeing. The kid that
would rather live in a tent and be apart from most of mankind, the kid that ran
from life every chance he got. The kid
that hated everyone has finally come to a place of rest. A spirit seemingly content in the knowledge
of a God none of us can imagine, but longing for something beyond our own
limitations. So, yesterday I hugged
them both as they departed for a honeymoon few could tell of. The tropical island of Hawaii. 7 glorious days of fun, sun and each
other.
My heart swells with the thought of that young love and
complete dedication to each other.
Ahhh……………….. God bless them both.
