Stress releif

The Lord answers prayer even when you don't ask directly. Thank you Lord. Our stress level was getting too high yesterday. Not something we can handle for all but a short time any more. But the Lord knew this, He is faithful and He provides. Our special thanks to both Amys. First to Amy 1 (Heymann) for sensing our stress and offering to contribute funding for flowers. Secondly to Amy 2 (Lockram) for being flexible in what will go into arrangements and settling/even purchasing silk callas for her bouquet. The two of you have made our lives so much easier. Again, thank you.

Putting together flowers for our children's weddings is an act love that has become a tradition. We look forward to it. Flowers from our garden have adorned more wedding celebrations than I can count. Unfortunately, this has been what some have called the coldest, wettest spring in over twenty years. We have had lots of beautiful blooms, but they don't last for long. They are beaten to the ground by heavy rain, even hail. I picked a huge bouquet of peonies yesterday. They were all laying on the ground even after being staked. The same goes with the big white calla lilies.

I'm not sure where the roses will be by the time of the wedding or if we will even try to use them. All I can say is that we will have flowers. Their bright display will herald the bright future of a new life together for two very special people. A life filled with love, trust, and respect for one another. A life based on a personal relationship in Christ. What more can anyone ask? We look forward to the blessing of adding another daughter, another Amy to our ever growing Moreno family.
