More praises from wedding week, wedding day and post wedding week.
Our oldest son Chris was able to give my Aunt Ruby , his Aunt Terri and their Grandma (my mom) a ride up to the reception building from the wedding gazebo area., down the hill God knew, that Chris, with his servant heart and being an usher (making him available after the ceremony) would allow him to be available to bring his car down to give them a ride. Due to physical limitations and/or needing a safer way up the hill vs beautiful, but uneven steps, was a huge blessing to us all.
Next…..
Being able to spread the Truth OF my Faith, with many guest on the brides side. I am not sharing this to brag, I am sharing this because God made an opportunity for me to praise Him. Many of the brides guest came up to me, the Mom of the groom, and let me know how much they adore my son, and think he’s so thoughtful, so kind and so nice. I told them thank you and that I was glad for that. As his mom, I can tell you he’s not perfect, But I am so happy, in the big picture, he is a wonderful young man.
I let them know I appreciated them sharing that with me.
But, I also added….
“when he graduated from college in 2014 and moved from Michigan to South Carolina, I prayed for God to take care of him and parent him in ways that we, as parents, had dropped the ball”.
Because, don’t we all know, as parents, we try our best, and then have to let go.
So….then we have to put them in God’s hands.
Next….
While the bride and groom, were in Michigan for the wedding, their county in South Carolina, Spartanburg county, lost power as Hurricane Helene bared down on northern South Carolina…and much more.
So less than 48 hours after they left South Carolina for the wedddimg, the house lost power along with a huge area. Here’s where God shows up. The neighbor was taking care of the cat, therefore had access to the house. My son had a small generator for emergencies. This neighbor was able to use the generator to keep his refrigerator cold and my son’s refrigerator cold.
Therefore, after getting married, they were able to go home to safe food instead of a huge mess to clean up from the freezer ans refrigerator.
In addition, since they were up north, and way away from the disaster, they were able to pick up a generator of the same make, and a similar model, for the neighbor, per the neighbor’s request.
AND, they actually had room to fit that generator into the vehicle, all the way to South Carolina.
Praise God that weather did not come in two days sooner and cause them to perhaps be trapped or even harmed as they traveled north, on one of the roads that was severely damaged and is still impassable.
Please continue to pray for all of those affected by the storm far and wide.
Since the audio during last week’s live was a little bumpy at times, feel free to go back and read last week’s part one, on everydayoutreach.com..
