The big day's arrived

They live just around the corner (literally). For at least the past three or four years, I've watched them come bounding up the stairs together.  Each week, they find their seats.  They sit.  They pray.

Today, they came up those stairs, this time separately, but accompanied by their family and friends.  They entered the church apart, but exited just a short while later, eternally bound to share their days, their dreams, their hopes and their lives together.

The rest of today is about celebrating, about giving thanks to God for the gift that has been offered and given today.  With each tomorrow, this day has the potential to become even better than it already is.  Life is not easy, it can be hard work, but with a soul mate to share the path, each struggle can be lighter, and each cause for celebration can be that much more magnified.

Tomorrow, they leave for their honeymoon, the beginning of the next chapter, the next adventure, the next discovery of all that should be celebrated, one day at a time.
