Well, the wedding weekend has come and gone. Our oldest son was married at the age of 31. He married a young woman with the most beautiful smile and heart. I truly wanted the day to last forever. After all those years of praying and waiting and wondering if this day would ever come, it was over too fast for me.
Many thoughts crossed my mind during that weekend but I only want to share a few. I watched him as he dealt with getting to know new family in-laws and how congenial and relaxed he seemed with them. I observed as several issues came up that needed quick attention and he was on them without reservation. They had pictures taken before the ceremony and he shared with us how very calm he felt being able to spend time with his beautiful bride to be. Honestly, I attribute so much of the way he deals with life to the military life we led. He adjusts and he does it with great ease.
The ceremony began and our son walked out with my husband, his DAD, by his side. Everyone walked down the aisle and the music changed for his bride to walk to him. I turned around and there he was looking at her with tears welling and such love I had never seen in his face. I knew he was in love but did not realize until that moment how deeply he loved her.
I was so proud to know that as a military son, he had had the opportunity to be in many new situations with new friends and new surroundings. This was his time to begin his life as a family with his new wife and new home.
The Pastor encouraged them to watch the video that was being filmed that day every year on their anniversary. I thought of those of you who are military wives right now and wondered if you have a video of your wedding that you could watch to renew your love and your commitment to your husband at this time. If he is at home, watch it with him. If he is deployed, watch without him. If you have only pictures, pull them out and take time to look through them.
Marriage is a commitment. We get bogged down with the things of life and forget sometimes that wonderful feeling of deep exciting love for our spouses. Ask the Lord today to help you to recommit your life to your husband and to love him with that love you felt on your wedding day.
Pray for your husbands daily. I find that when I pray for someone it truly keeps me connected in a loving and positive way.
May the Lord bless you today with peace and joy as you continue the journey as a military wife! May he restore the passion and excitement in your marriage that was created from the beginning of time.
MILITARY WIFE……. Blessings to you this day!!
