Today I have a wedding. I am looking forward to it.  It is a great couple who truly have asked God to bless their union.  It is a great joy to be a part of a wedding where God is in the midst.  I feel happy inside when I think of these two young people putting God into their home right at the start.  You would think a great day is ahead for me.

Before the wedding I must visit a person who has been in and out of the hospital several times this year already.  When I look into her face I see the toil that suffering has taken in her life.  I will pray with her and plead for God to take her pain away.  After that I go and see a couple whose mother has just passed away.  There is suffering there also.  The mom was in pain and perhaps in some ways it is a blessing that she has been released from her sufferings.  But those left feel the emptiness of a loved one taken from them. 

So, by the time the wedding finally gets here I will have gone through several emotional experiences.  Such is life in the real world.  There is suffering and there is joy.  Today let us rejoice that in every changing experience of life there is God who walks with us and not only comforts us but rejoices with us, too.
