Make us like the loving Jesus...

"Spirit of Love, make me like the loving Jesus...

that I may shine before men to thy glory.

Let me see thy love everywhere,

not only in the cross,

but in the fellowship of believers

and in the world around me...

Unsought, thou hast given me

the greatest gift, the person of the Son,

and in him thou wilt give me all I need.

Grant me grace...to rest in thee

who art all love." || The Valley of Vision

Yesterday we celebrated at the wedding of a dear friend...Josh's younger sister Kate. Our family played many roles in the wedding, from decorating and styling hair to doing farm chores and second-shooting the wedding! It was a crazy day for us. :) But we love weddings, especially ones that are pure, Christ-glorifying, and involve so many of our dear friends! There's nothing more beautiful to us than to witness a new covenant of marriage that is a clear testimony of the love of Jesus for His bride...

[We'll post a few pictures of Kate and Jeff when Skyler finishes editing the 1400+ photos. :) ]

And look, a family picture! ;)

Eva Charis, you are so very pretty...and growing so quickly!

Josh and Suzi and family!

"Today they come to unite their hearts as one in Jesus’ name

They’ll give their hearts, their lives, their love; a ring to seal the same

What once was two shall become one that the world might see again

A testimony of the love of Christ between a woman and a man

Now they’re rejoicing in His love as it flows from God above

The one for whom they’ve prayed and dreamed is here for them to love

They know now who God’s given to them that they might understand

The love of Christ for His own bride, they’re rejoicing in God’s plan."
