The Marriage Supper of the Lamb

Saturday afternoon I had the privelege of attending a celebration of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb with the lovely ladies of our amazing church. The festivities started with a delicious meal of meat, veggies and salad...and of course some desserts (I did not partake of the sweets!) Lunch was followed by a gift exchange and some amuzing entertainment by some female members of our drama team.
After the entertainment there was an activity in which flowers were passed around and each lady was to take a petal off of the flower and tell why they KNOW God loves them (instead of 'he loves me, he loves me not'...) As the flowers were passed around each woman stood to tell her story of what God has done to show His undying love, I was overwhelmed by each story that was told.
I felt like weeping as each lady stood, most cried as they spoke of the marvelous things that God has done in their lives. A bond was formed yesterday as we each shared some very special and personal times in our lives!

I will never forget what my pastor's wife said as she stood to testify. As she was looking around the room she couldn't help but notice how we are all so different in our own unique way. God made us individually and that is why she knows that we are all loved. He intricately formed us to be completely different from one another...but yet our testimonies revealed that we are all very much alike.
The bond that was formed yesterday will not soon be broken, I ask that you will all help me to pray for this kind of unity in our churches everywhere!
