Stirred By The Scriptures

Every now and then I need something that puts a smile on my face. I hear plenty of heartache and hard realities on a regular basis so I will be honest, I long for a little joy.  This weekend will be one of those “joy moments”.  I am going to participate in a wedding of a young man who I have know since the day he was born. I watched him grow up but events a few years ago left me wondering if I would ever see this day.  While he was in college he developed testicular cancer and it has been a long, hard journey.  The young lady he is marrying met him and hung in with him during that whole ordeal.  So when I stand next to him and watch as she comes down the aisle - I will be rejoicing.  As the Body of Christ we sorrow with those who weep and we rejoice with those who celebrate.  I will be smiling.
