The Picture

My daughter suggested I use my Children's Messages from Sunday morning for my Blog. Last Sunday I presented a picture of my parents on their wedding day, June 25, 1938.

The children recognized it instantly as a wedding picture, even though it is outside--Mom is wearing a bride's dress, good hint! I then said God had a plan for their life together, and through the next 48 plus years they lived in but two houses, had five children, eleven grandchildren, and lots of good memories. They were faithful to God and His plan, but they weren't all smiles, as they were on their wedding day. But God helped them through, and blessed them, just as He will help us through and bless our lives.

We can be confident in this because God has promised, and because we have examples like this marred couple and many others who can say that, too.

All of this led into the message theme for the say: "Bless This House--Both Marriage and Children." Indeed.
