Our First Family Wedding is Upon Us

Well....this is a very exciting time. The first wedding of one of our 3 amazing sons, Andrew...he will marry Sarah on August 7th...

Parent's...many years ago in my singing days, I had the privilege of recording my one and only solo album at the Bill and Gloria Gaither studio in Alexandria, Indiana.

As I entered the studio, the receptionist lead me directly to the office of Gloria Gaither. I was very honored and excited to meet her. I was looking forward to incredible advice on singing and recording since that was what I was there to do...however, I was very surprised when I sat across her desk, she looked me in the eyes and said one thing...

"I understand you have a little boy"...I said "yes I do"..she then carefully and slowly said "always, always, put your children first, they are and always will be your first ministry..."

That was it! I was then excused and went into the studio to begin the project.

A couple of months later, I heard a pastor suggest that parents should begin praying for the future spouses of their children...even when they are babies...I also remembered a beautiful song called "Somewhere in the World Tonight"...by Wayne Watson.

So I have...I have prayed for Aaron, Andrew and Brandon's future wives...since they were babies...

PRAISE GOD! He has certainly answered my prayers for Andrew....Sarah is God's beautiful gift to Andrew and all of us...we are very thankful...

Parents...pray now...pray hard...pray everyday for the future spouse of your children...I always pray that whoever my son's end up marrying will be someone that will lead them closer to Jesus!

I encourage you...take this very seriously...God is with you...He is sovereign and He will answer!
