Wedding Blessings


This past Saturday I attended the wedding of a good friend, actually two good friends (Lisa Mufford and Jim Logul. In attending the wedding, I was a witness to the covenant made between a man and a woman before God.
As a witness, it is my responsibility to help Lisa & Jim keep the covenant they made to one another to keep their marriage as long as they both shall live. Too many times people who attend a wedding forget their responsibility. They figure if the couple runs into problems it is not their responsibility to help. How wrong that thinking is! We are to hold the couple accountable to their vows. Marriage is not a contract that can be broken. We are to come along side and pray for them, encourage them and even sometimes confront them. I believe if witnesses took their responsibility a bit more seriously then their would be less divorce and stronger marriages.
Well, the wedding ceremony was beautiful and I was glad I was able to attend. The reception was a simple affair. I was glad Scott & I had the opportunity to spend a little time with friends. After all was said and done it was a bit taxing on my leg. I was tired by the time Scott brought me home a couple hours later.
Yesterday I was able to witness my youngest brother, Daniel, get water baptized. What an amazing experience. He was one of 16 people who publicly proclaimed Jesus truly is Lord of their lives. The evening was full of much joy and tears. Tears of JOY!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord!
Until next time!
Blessings to you!~~~~

It's been awhile

Yes, I know it has been a while since I have blogged. Life gets busy and I don't take the time to sit down and write. Well, now I have come to a bit of a stand still. My body decided I was not taking enough down time and put me down. Last week Monday I ended up in the hospital with cellulitus in my lower right leg. What started out as a fever in the early hours of the morning, ended up with me making an extended stay at Millard Fillmore Suburban hospital for a week.
I am home now on more extended leave until my doctor says it will be okay to resume working. So for now I am sitting in a recliner with my leg up and trying not to fall asleep. The leg is healing Praise the Lord! It just needs to not swell up when I am down on it for more than 2o minutes.
Life has been good! Scott & I have been dating/courting for 7 months this Saturday. We are very similar in our likes and dislikes. He encourages me just as much as I encourage him. I love spending time with him. I have met many of his friends and so far they like me. His family loves me just as much as my family loves him. I believe we compliment one another. :)
Right now he is excited that the Buffalo Sabres are in the playoffs. Tomorrow is the first game and you can be sure to find him in front of the TV watching the game. He loves anything to do with hockey. He especially likes cheering on the local players. He becomes very animated. I am glad I enjoy watching hockey. We watched a girl's game a couple weeks back and had the best time.
Well, right now I am a bit tired. I will sign off for now. I will try to write more often but I am not promising anything.
Until next time!
Blessings to you!~~~
