Kinship by blood joined with kinship through the Spirit of Christ.
The simplicity of a service that glorifies and honors the Lord and even includes the sacrament of communion for the couple is a glory to behold.
Note the "cup and the bread" (right) a waiting the couple. |
As the Pastor said, "In the heavenly equation," marriage is when 2 people come together in the covenant relationship of 1, as man leaves father and mother and cleaves to his wife. (Genesis 2:24)
And when this stand is gladly taken, "Beneath the Cross of Jesus, " it is even sweeter!
Hooray! Hooray! Mr. and Mrs. Johnson are on their way----from a wedding ceremony which glorified God, to a life of committed faithfulness in marriage which will do the same.
From a wedding supper table for 2, where little time was given by the hordes of well-wishers...
to a luscious trio of cakes where again "let them eat cake" was for others, with just a single bite for them.
As the celebration continued, a rainbow appeared....another covenant reminder.
To me, that rainbow was a "God wink" for Robbie and Bjorn.
A perfect ending to a perfect day.....
.......and a perfect beginning for a life of 1+1 =2!
