Four Years Ago Today . . .


In Thy holy place we bow, perfumes sweet to heaven rise,
While our golden censers glow with the fire of sacrifice.
Saints low bending, prayers ascending, holy lips and hands implore;
Faith believing and receiving grace from Him whom we adore.


In heav'nly love abiding, no change my heart shall fear,
And safe is such confiding, for nothing changes here;
The storm may roar without me; my heart may low be laid;
But God is round about me, and can I be dismayed?

Like a river glorious is God's perfect peace,
Over all victorious in its bright increase;
Perfect, yet it floweth fuller ev'ry day;
Perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way.

Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest;
Finding as he promised, Perfect peace and rest.





In Your time, in Your time;
You make all things beautiful in Your time.
Lord our lives to You we bring;

May each song we have to sing
Be to You a lovely thing
In Your time.




As you have joined your hands in one, before our God above,

May you as Ruth of old has done, pledge now this vow of love.

Whither thou goest, I will go; whither thou lodgest, I will lodge;

Thy people shall my people be, thy God, my God.



Lead us, O Father, in the paths of peace;
Without Thy guiding hand we go astray,
And doubts appall, and sorrows still increase;
Lead us thro' Christ the true and living way.



My new Family! I love you all!



There's a path we all can take as life we're living;

In the law of love for God sincere;
As He fills our hearts with love and love we're giving,
We will walk in love and never need to fear.

Walk in love, let love surround you,
As it flows from heaven above;
Walk in love with those around you;
For a life that's worth the living,

Walk in love.






We bless Thy name, O Lord, Thy goodness we record,
We tell Thy great and wondrous love, we publish it abroad.
We look to Thee on high, we praise and glorify,
For only Thou art Ruler over earth and sky.

For Thine is the Kingdom, the power, the glory,
Forever and ever, Thy praises we will sing,
Yes, Thine is the Kingdom, the power, the glory,
For Thou art almighty, and Thou art our King.




It's been a wonderful four years with the man of my dreams. Better than my dreams actually.



God has richly blessed us, and I feel so unworthy!



Happy Anniversary Sweetheart! I love you!

Y'are!





The songs quoted were all sung at our wedding.

Rachel,
Your wedding pictures are lovely... thank you for reminiscing about your wedding here! I've thoroughly enjoyed your posts!
You are richly blessed and your family is lovely in every way, but most of all because you have the love of Jesus shining out of you!
