A BEAUTIFUL DAY

A beautiful day of rejoicing

And celebrating life.

Thirty five years of marriage

Of one man and wife.

 

A marriage based on God,

A road of lessons learned.

Regardless life’s circumstances,

God they never spurned.

 

Days of Job often long

Through sickness, sorrow, and pain.

And regardless the situation

God made their days for gain.

 

Through times of need and tragedy,

And the loss of their precious son,

Even when their grief was deep,

It was to God they’d always run.

 

Their hearts given to others,

And it was LOVE which they gave.

To others they told their story of redemption

And how God their hearts will save.

 

A time of friends remembering

A wedding of many years before.

They always took the path of God

Unknowing what was in store.

 

And their vows of love survived

Through sickness and in health.

And their greatest gift from God

Is their love, which is their wealth.

 

And what an honor is was for me

To capture their moments of pleasure

As they shared with their friends

Joyous wealth which they treasure.

 

Unmeasured love God pours on them

Because they are willing to give theirs away.

And God has blessed them with more life

As they rejoice to overflowing each day.

 

And what a beautiful day it was!

I WAS THE PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE 35^TH WEDDING CELEBRATION OF OUR FRIENDS.  I LOVE BEING BEHIND THE CAMERA FOR SUCH EVENTS AS THIS.
