Katherine, Today you came home and showed me the receipt where you applied for your marriage license. I think I was more at ease with you having your drivers license than this one. While driving is a big responsibility marriage is a bigger one and an even bigger commitment! Tomorrow you will stand beside Kyle and you both will pledge to love and honor one another in sickness and in health, for better and for worse forsaking all others till death do you part, you will do this and you two will be tied together forever, that is a very long time. I know there's such a thing as divorce but really I don't want that for you, I want what I have always wanted for you, for your entire life and that is happiness. Tomorrow when you and Kyle exchange your vows I want you to remember that marriage is a commitment the biggest one you'll ever make beside having children. Marriage isn't a game you play and then get tired and toss one another away. Marriage takes work and effort it takes two people who know how to communicate without yelling or hitting, who know how to compromise, who know how to be understanding of one anothers feelings. There will be times you will look at each other and wonder why did I marry him or why did I marry her let me give you this advice...do not ever utter those words...words cut so deep and they hurt! Think before you speak, seek God's wisdom and God's knowledge and make him the center of your marriage, trust me I have been in marriages where God wasn't the center and it is not easy, not saying it's even easier with God just saying when you have faith in God and you talk to God he hears you and he answers your prayers when you live your life together and for him it'll make all the difference. Love each other there are going to be tough times but they don't last just hold on and hang on! When you have children you'll see so many things I tried to tell you and you'll understand that your mama wasn't always being mean or hateful she just loved you so much and wanted the best for you! You have been my baby for 19 years now we have been through it and back again I love you so much and I hope you realize that, I'm not ready to really let you go honestly I thought this would be easy but right now I'm sad to see my baby step into the new role of wife but I'm also happy that you feel like you have found someone that you want to spend your life with so it's a mixture of mommy emotions ! It seems like you should be still running around playing, watching cartoons...and being my little girl. There have been so many days lately I wish there was some device that I could use to turn you back into a little girl again..sadly there isn't and I can't stop time or make it go back! Just know where ever you go, whatever you do you will always be my little girl, I will always love you with all that is in me! I will always pray for your safety, your happiness and you!
Kyle, You are marrying my first born, my oldest daughter she has been with me the longest. You are taking part of my heart. I believe you love her son, I think your a pretty good guy, please don't ever make me think less of you! A woman should be loved and cherished and respected and I expect you to love my daughter, cherish her and respect her actually that could go for both of you. Please remember before you ever get mad at her that she is someone's daughter and think of this one day you may have a daughter yourself treat my daughter the way you would want yours treated. You both need to think before you speak because words are hard to take back, so are actions so be careful with each others hearts! We welcome you into our family tomorrow you've already been apart of it for a good while now. We will love you and care about you just as you are one of our own and we have.
I hope that you both have a lifetime of happiness that you a long wonderful life together!
In closing this blog out I have some scripture I want to share with you both:
Genesis 2: 20 So the man gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.
G But for Adam no suitable helper was found. 21 So the Lord God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep; and while he was sleeping, he took one of the man’s ribs and then closed up the place with flesh. 22 Then the Lord God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man.
23 The man said,
“This is now bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called ‘woman,’
for she was taken out of man.”
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
1 Corinthians 13: 4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
