The weather forecast did not look promising for an outdoor wedding. As we gathered for the rehearsal, the skies were dark. The windshield seemed wrinkled from the rain drops streaming down, and the roof crackled as tiny raindrops bounced off its surface. One by one, cars arrived at the Webb Barn to go over the details of the wedding.
Charlie grabbed an umbrella and joined the others. I stayed in the car and began to write, since there was no reason for me to get out in the pouring rain. A few minutes later, however, the rain tapered, and instead of having to do the rehearsal inside, the party was able to go through things outside where the ceremony was to occur.
As we left that night, a double rainbow arced over the barn, a reminder that He always keeps His promises.
It was as though the Lord had already heard my request for good weather and was reminding me of His mercies that are new every morning.
The day of the wedding dawned with clear blue skies and beautiful cool breezes. The nor’easter was gone, and in its place were the sparkling clean greens of spring.
Two lives were joined together in marriage that day as Emily and Kyle pledged their love and their lives to each other forever.
My hope for them as they go through life together is that they will continue to grow in their love for each other and that they will learn the joys and blessings of totally trusting the God who gave them the double rainbow for their rehearsal and sunshine for their wedding day. They will have dark and sunny days ahead, and through it all, I wish for them the ability to see God who always keeps all of His promises.
