A True Celebration!

There was my dear sweet friend, Elouisa surrounded by many of her closest friends.  We were gathered together to celebrate her upcoming marriage to the man of her dreams!  She looked so beautiful and she was just glowing.  The beautiful gifts wrapped in lovely paper and embellishments were all unveiled and she was very humbled by the generosity of each friend.     

                                                     Then the true celebration began! 

Every single friend in the room showered Elouisa with the sweetest loving words which were often mixed with tears.  She was presented with letters of love and admiration.  She has been such a Godly virtuous woman and she has made such an impact on so many lives.  You see, Elouisa has weathered some of the most difficult circumstances a woman could live through.  However, in all of this she has maintained a heart that sought her Lord.  She would often say, "Jesus is my husband and the Daddy of my boys."  She was found faithful seeking and serving Him in all her ways.  We have all witnessed over many years the power of God's love and His faithfulness to her.  Our lives have been touched as well.  

And now on this very special day she was showered with the beautiful fruits of her life that she has lived seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.  What a true celebration!

                                                                         Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. 

                                                                      Morning Prayer
Dear Lord,
    May we never allow the difficult circumstances in our lives keep us from seeking You first.  May our heart's desire be to walk in the power of Your love and Your faithfulness to us today and every day.  Amen
