On July 3rd, my brother got married to his girlfriend of 6 years. The ceremony was beautiful, and I was even asked to read a scripture at the wedding. The reception was wonderful as well. The most amazing part of this experience is the coming together of 2 families. My sister-in-law's family is a nice group of people.
My prayer is that this marriage lasts. Unfortunately, marriages have not lasted long in my family. Either they divorce, or stay in an unhappy, miserable marriage (which ends up in divorce anyway)! My prayer is that this generational curse will break, in Jesus' name! In a way, I'm actually glad that I'm still single (shocking...I know!). With eyes wide open, I see that people get married for all the wrong reasons. Whether it is for money, for sex or to cure loneliness, I have rarely seen couples get married for genuine, sincere love - that is until now.
Anyway, I'm happy for my brother and my new sister-in-law. Frankly speaking, she's earned the title of "wife!" She's tolerated my brother's ism's and schism's for over 6 years - and loves him in spite of them (trust me, I know my brother and how he can be)! I pray that they will be just as happy together 30 years from now as they were when they wed. It gives me something to look forward to when it's my turn!
Until next time...
