Weddings, Blessings and Today
Yesterday, I went to the 5th wedding this year. I have often reflected the day after how blessed I am to have the friends that I do.
[A somber note: During the reception, I had the thought that in other lands, we'd have security, and the chance of terror. That I was (likely) the only person to have that thought is a blessing that I do not want to let go.]
I live a truly blessed life. And these are the happiest times of my life. My wife is pregnant, and tomorrow we got for the first ultra-sound. We have a new house, a wonderful (silly and exasperating) dog, good jobs and a savior that loves us and has redeemed us.
Thank you Lord, for life, for my best friend and wife, for my friends, and, well, everything.
I rejoice in your joy. Life truly is amazing and good.
