Monday Manna - Stories of God's Goodness #2 -Dee & Jerry's Reception

Good Monday Morning to you,

Sweet Friends,

So how was your weekend and how is

 your Monday shaping up???

It is raining and dreary here this morning, but

 there is sonshine in my soul.

We are still basking in the glory of how well the

 reception went..............and all the answers to 

prayer that we saw over any and all concerns

that we had,  how everything got done that

needed to get done,  and the ideas the Lord

 gave me, and the ideas and help from others,

was just such a blessing.

The peace we had through it all, cause this

 was a real stretch for me.  I can be very shy in

 a group of people when I don't know them, and

 basically, I did not know 10 of them at all, and

 only 2 had we met once, but the Lord enabled

 me to be more gregarious even than normal,

 which was so surprising to me..........

and such a blessing.

We kept Dee and Jerry in the bedroom till

everyone arrived and then announced them 

as Mr. and Mrs.

Our Dee looked so beautiful in her gown,

and Jerry so handsome in his suit. We just

 had to blow some bubbles on them, to 

celebrate 

that they are now, Husband & Wife. They

threw rose petals on them in St. Lucia.

All of Jerry's family said how nice they thought

it was, and how much they enjoyed it, they were

all very sweet, nice and encouraging.  It was so

 nice to meet them all.

 The wedding video was way beyond what we

 even imagined or expected, and the videographer

 did such a good job with the music he added to it,

 as well, and it is such fun to be able to watch it 

all together.  Also nice to have it and the pics

so we can see them anytime we want.

The photographer we had for the reception

 took lots of neat pictures of each family with

 Dee and Jerry, and then lots of candid shots,

am hoping he got some good ones of the

tables, cause I took some,  but they weren't

complete, as I added embellishments and

rose petals afterwards and forgot to take a

picture of them. Don't know when we will

get those back yet.

It was mostly all family, with just a few

friends that were able to make it, as my

guest list was limited since we were doing

it in our home, but it was a truly a most 

delightful evening.

Memories that will last a lifetime.

Other than the issue with the  cakes and 

the flowers for her and Jerry, wich I was

able to fix, thankfully!!

 Things really could not have gone any

 better than they did. About as perfect
as it's gonna get this side of heaven.

So we are so gratetful to God, and to

all of you who felt led to lift this event

and us up to the Lord in prayer.

  He heard our prayers...........

 and answered them exceedingly, abundantly,

more than we could ever think, hope or ask!

That is the Lord we serve..........

All praise goes to Him who loves us so 

graciously and lavishly!!

Started not to share about the disappointments,

cause didn't want to take away from what all

the Lord did,  cause he moved in a mighty way,

  but just keeping it real folks. Things do happen,

 we just have to choose not to let them ruin

 things for us!!  Cause the enemy also wants

to disappoint and steal our joy,  it is our

job not to let him do that to us!!

Was going to share some pictures today,

  but forgot to ask Dee and Jerry if it was okay, 

 so once I get their approval, hopefully, I

will be sharing them. 

Come back tomorrow and I will share some

sort of pictures whether it be from the

reception progress or the wedding.

Thanks for coming by, appreciate your

visit and your comments as always,

Love,  Hugs,

and Praise Worthy Blessings,

Nellie
