the party was hosted by caroline and was just a treat to attend. we ate bbq outside, sipped on pink lemonade and enjoyed some homemade ice cream and brownies. it was all so delicious and it was a great time to spend with people i really love and just don't get to see as much as i would like.
caroline prayed for daniel and laura before we ate and it was such a sweet prayer. as tears came to her eyes caroline thanked the Lord for what He has done in the life of our friend and for the gift He has given her. caroline asked that we would celebrate the working of the Lord in the lives of daniel and laura.
i loved it. we should celebrate. and not just this one occasion. the Lord is good and we should be in constant celebration...or at least enjoying a lot more of it.
after the party i was thinking of a prayer gathering i went to for laura before she left for her time overseas. we prayed that the Lord would have His way in her and glorify Himself in her life. I don't think at the time we planned on Him doing it the way He did but grateful that He has nonetheless. He is just exciting like that.
so does everyone love daniel?
of course, he is wonderful. as he and laura shared their story of falling in love on foreign soil with an extra set of rules i looked around the party at those listening. they laughed at daniel when he made a joke, responded with the occasional appropriate, "ahhh" when he said sweet things about our friend and i could tell the entire party was falling in love with daniel.
the moment when i knew he loved my friend and was good enough for her came earlier that evening. while passing through the food line laura accidentally dropped a piece of sausage on the ground in the kitchen. when she told daniel he, without hesitation, bent down, picked up the sausage and ate it.
when a man does that for you, it means he is really in love.
congrats my friends. i love you and look forward to watching you become one.
