The wedding

This weekend, we were involved in a wedding. At the ceremony, the pastor delivered a GREAT message. He spoke to the couple, but encourage the audience to play an active role as well, and not to listen as by-standers. He said so many things that were good reminders about marriage. One of the challenges he gave to the couple was to seek opportunities to serve the Lord together. I thought it was so neat. He explained to them that. for their whole lives so far, they have been serving the Lord individually. He encouraged then to continue that, but now they must also seek to serve the Lord TOGETHER. I was convicted when the pastor was talking about that. I think that so often, we get so busy that it is easy to only think about how we personally can serve God, but forget that part of our ministry as Christians is to reach out as a couple also. Bob and I met on a missions trip--we were serving the Lord together. We have worked in Bob's ministry together a lot of times over the years--we were serving the Lord together. I want to make it a priority to continue to serve the Lord together!!

I then got to thinking that I am excited for when our girls get old enough that we can include them in our ministry as well. It will be so exciting to serve the Lord side by side with our daughters.

So, in the coming days, Bob and I will be talking about how we can purposefully serve the Lord together.

I don't know if that makes sense, but it convicted me when I heard the pastor talk about it. It is getting late, and I am already sleep-deprived, so it is a miracle that I can even put 2 sentences together!! ha,ha
