The wedding was a grand adventure of seeing many who i see not half as much as i would like and twice as little as i can bare. But though i see all of my close friends less frequent now than ever, it is always sweet to be back in their company, even if only for a while. But yet for awhile is all we hope for in this life. It may seem like only having a short while on this earth makes life trite. I think if we did not know of the eternal it might. Dan( the married one) was so keen to point out that if we looked past the ceremony of marriage we may see something eternal! And in the church that is our hope. The Glory of Christ and our union with him. Such will be the eternal glory which we long for in this life. John Owen says, "beholding the glory of Chirst is one of the greatest privileges that believers are capable of in this world, or even in that which is to come." The love of Christ culminates in the marrage of the church as the bride of Christ. What a wonder to behold that eternal union in this one . Thanks Dan!
