In a celebratory time like this you would think I would lead with the richer and better and tell them of all the adventures, love, and laughter they would share… However, I couldn’t help but think that I would tell them it was going to be a hard, rocky road. I would tell them that there would be a lot of worse and poorer days when they would have to love with more than feelings.

Like the disciples, we all have our seasons of sitting in Saturday. Those seasons where the goodness and faithfulness of God don’t seem to line up with the circumstances of life around us. It’s a hard day.
