HEAVENLY EQUATION: 1+1=1

There is nothing quite like a family wedding! 
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!

SABBATH SNAPSHOTS: EASTER WEEK '13

3/31/13  A great week approaching "Resurrection Day"---too bad Google only acknowledged today as Chavez's Birthday. But God.....showed me throughout this last week the ins and outs and joys of celebrations within the community of faith. What blessings I experienced!
Sara and Jeanette make every FEC Wednesday night special for our own household of faith!
Homemade for Easter lunch in Batesville, MS using "passed down" cake forms, the best kind!
Flowers picked prior to the cold snap---I so love that my "matching" cross and mug were gifts from 2 different people, from 2 different TN counties, who went at 2 different times  to MS to shop & both thought of me. 
April in her Easter bonnet....
"Beneath the cross of Jesus I fain would take my stand..."
Around the kitchen table with family for  Easter lunch
Late afternoon delivery by Lilly, my favorite Easter bunny  and her  helpful daughters, who were rice girls in our wedding----that's how far back we go! What a perfect cap to a great week with other Christians!
