Wedding Thoughts

Here are some of the thoughts that have been running through my mind as we prepare for L’s wedding tomorrow.

Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies. The heart of her husband safely trusts her; so he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.
- Proverbs 31: 10-12


But when thou findest sensibility of heart joined with softness of manners; an accomplished mind and religion, united with sweetness of temper, modest deportment, and a love of domestic life—Such is the woman who will divide the sorrows, and double the joys of thy life. Take her to thyself; she is worthy to be thy nearest friend, thy companion, the wife of thy bosom.
- Noah Webster—describing the qualities which a young man should identify in his future life partner.


You are that woman. You have cultivated your heart for the Lord, and God has fashioned you into a woman of character, a woman who will bring great blessing to her husband.

I wish I could express my thoughts more eloquently. Words aren’t sufficient to express what I feel right now. But I just want you to know how much I love you.

Anne
