Dear ones,

We survived the wedding!

More than survived, actually: it was a beautiful, joyful, day full of love, Spirit, and celebration. William and I, along with the bride and groom, are grateful for your prayers and well-wishes. Frequently asked questions: Did we finish our yard? Yes! Barely, but we did. However, Mother Nature had the audacity to rain for the Night Before party, so we pivoted. The Night Before party was moved inside and we held a Morning After brunch in our yard instead. The stream was well admired. Did I officiate? Yes! Quite an honor. Did I cry? I did not! Mostly because I was wearing false eyelashes (!! proof that there is a first time for everything) and the make-up artist who attended to the wedding party told me if I cried, they would fall off. Apparently the threat of that embarrassment served its purpose and kept the tears at bay. That and the fact that I was smiling too big to cry.

My prayer for you this week is for tender moments in your life that bring tears just under the surface - but a Spirit-filled joy that overrides them. (And may your eyelashes always stay in place!)

Blessings,
Jennifer
