Dear God, my Father, We begin the pageantry that is our oldest grandson's wedding today. Please surround them with all Your grace and give them the courage and wisdom to seek wise counsel as they embark on this journey of a lifetime. If there is any way or ways You can use us to surround them with the hard-won truths about making marriage last a lifetime, keep us viable and available to serve these beautiful young people. All of this I pray in the name of Jesus, who performed His first public miracle on earth at a wedding. Amen.
