I’m contemplating and imagining the feelings I’ll have when walking down the aisle with my daughter, Rebecca, next Friday.
It’s a new experience; I remember listening to a Don Francisco song, about a dad who, before he knows what’s happened, gives his little girl away to be married. I cried when I listened! But I’ve grown up now … not to say there won’t be a tear in my eye. It will be a tear of gladness though – chuffed that she’s found a good man!
It’s at times like this that you realise just how precious family is. We’ve five kids, now getting spread around the place – two in London, Dan, with Hanna in Sweden and as they go away, you find that keeping in touch is very important and actually deepens our relationships.
So – it’s all go for us now and in the midst of all the action, I’m enjoying getting some moments to think and pray, and appreciate all the blessings of family.
