wedding

Good morning…

With our oldest son’s wedding less than three weeks away, we pulled out our plastic picture bin to search for framable photos for the rehearsal dinner. Along with lots of fun pictures of Kyler and Chandler as a couple, we will include photos from our own wedding, from her parents’ wedding, and from the weddings of the four sets of grandparents grounding our family tree. Wandering through a visual lineage of love, we will celebrate the goodness of God.

Now, up in the middle of the night, lyrics from a song I love form into a prayer.

I love You, Lord
For Your mercy never failed me
All my days, I’ve been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
And in darkest night You are close like no other
I’ve known You as a Father
I’ve known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God!

I am drawn to a moving music video amplifying God’s faithful presence with us. Inspired by the gorgeous voice of CeCe Winans, today might we reflect upon the same enduring truth? “I have lived in the goodness of God!”
