One of my caregivers, who also happens to be a very dear friend was married on September 11, 2004. Before the wedding, whenever she was here, I would ask her about her wedding plans, music and every little detail that makes weddings so special and different for each couple.
About two weeks before the wedding, Amber came to me and said that the Pastor had asked them to write a Prayer to be used in their wedding~~~~~~and she wanted my help. Needless to say, I was more than happy to do this for them.
Jeremy and Amber were married in a beautiful ceremony on a Saturday afternoon, sunshine and warm breezes outside, beautiful flowers and candles, an a very loving couple inside. And they used this poem,
my Wedding Present to them...................
Jeremy and Amber's Wedding Prayer
Heavenly Father,
As we humbly bow before You,
And speak our vows of Love
We gladly share,
Please move within our hearts
We do implore You,
For Only Your Guidance,
Through the years,
Will ground us there.
With Your Love to guide us,
We will surely follow~~~
Patience and Kindness
Will rule our daily lives.
Joy shared is Doubled:
And halved will be our sorrow,
With Jesus walking
Daily by our side.
Into Your Hands, we give
What we most value~~~
Our children,
Our Home,
This Love we hold so dear.
Until the day, when one must
Lay the other
Into Your Arms forever~~~~
Hear Our Prayer.
