Marriage
As I think about the coming holiday that celebrates the birth of our nation, and all the parades and fireworks displays that will be part of that day, I think back to that wonderful day just over two years ago, and think that any July 4 celebration doesn't hold a candle to the one that is going on in my heart!
Two years...such a small amount of time to hold so much love!
I remember the night before, so nervous, but still so sure, contemplating the life that lay ahead, my heart brimming with joy at the very thought.
I remember praying in gratitude to God, for bringing me the greatest gift, this love I thought I'd never have.
I resolved that night to celebrate each day, to let you know the love I have for you, and to make sure you were surrounded each moment with clouds of joy and love so very true.
And oh, that day, that wonderful time, when I walked down the aisle on the arm of my son, to see you there at the end of that walk, the happiness I felt just overflowed to see you, my only one.
You sang to me a song that still makes me cry, for the words of love in the verses are gifts of love...and I read to you words from my heart to tell of the gift I have in you, given straight from God above.
As we exchanged our rings, those endless circles shining bright through my tears; I knew that I had never been this happy, and I also knew it would last for years and years.
And two years later, the feelings the same, the love we have is deeper and even more true, for we both take the time and the care to show our love in all the words we say and the things we do.
So each day is a celebration that rivals the 4th of July...for in our hearts there is a fireworks display that's more beautiful than all the rest, and I live inside a parade of joy, a ticker tape celebration of all that’s best.
Our love is the celebration, our prayers are the confetti in the air, and each morning we give our hearts to each other, knowing they are safe in the other's care.
I rejoice in my heart for this love that is so true, for the gift that I have in you, and I delight in finding yet another way to say I love you that is brand new!

I am so looking forward to my own fireworks going off. Patience and endurance have certainly become some of my strongest character traits. :::wink::: All in the Lord's perfect timing...
