Exquisite

I had the honor of being part of two weddings. One wedding, a handful of family in a backyard garden space, simple and easy-flowing, with a home-cooked meal on mismatched family china. The other, a church full of family and friends, more structured, rules and traditions, with a catered dinner and dance, both sweet and very special. Jesus attended a wedding in Cana, not as the focal point, but as a guest. He took jars of water, blessed them, and the water became wine. He took something seemingly ordinary and made it exquisite. Now, knowing these two couples, they are anything but ordinary. Yet with Jesus, their lives together will become extraordinary, exquisite. This is my prayer. It is my prayer for you as well. Amen.
