Cinderella

My sweet niece Chrissy will say "I will" on Saturday to her fiance' Zack. I cannot express to all of you how much my nieces and nephews mean to me. The children the Lord has blessed me with are as close to me having my own children that I will ever get. When I met Jim, Chrissy was 2. How time flys! We leave Wednesday for Kiawah Island, South Carolina for the wedding as Chrissy has always wanted to get married on a beach. Jim and I will be doing the readings. I will read 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 and Jim will read from Matthew.

Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
~ Matthew 19:4-6

I am looking forward to some good family time & some awesome God time!

Chrissy is the youngest of three girls and has a personality that grabs you as soon as you meet her! I have always called her "Tweety" as she loved Tweety Bird as a little girl! She reminded me of Tweety - darling and full of mischief! Her giggle, well when she was a little girl... I laugh hearing it in my mind, it was infectious!


Zack is a delightful young man! I got to know him a little better on our ski trip this past March. He, Jim and myself were the non-stop skiers!

I am sure I will have some lovely photos and stories to tell when I get back! I know God will show me a great time!

My Gracious Heavenly Father, I never could have imagined how blessed I would be by the wonderful children you have placed in my life. Not children of my own body, but the children You desired to be in my life. I thank You for showing me the dreams You had for me are bigger and better than anything I could have dreamed for myself! I thank You, for showing me that You would be glorified more by me not having children. I thank You for healing a broken heart, and that Chrissy was an instrument You used to help heal that broken heart. I thank You for my sweet Chrissy, the gift she has been in my life. I thank You for Zack, and I pray Your blessings over Chrissy and Zack's life together. May they love You, and build their marriage on You. Amen


This song is what came to my mind when I found this picture a few weeks ago I took of Chrissy and her dad many years ago. Enjoy...
