Week of the Bride, Pt 4: Gift & Gratitude

This morning's woodsy walk did its good work in me -- it gave me a gift:

I am so grateful for the gift of Ryan to my daughter, as her husband, now just in two days.  Unless I believe that I deserve good things due to my efforts, which couldn't possibly be the case, then everything good that we receive is nothing short of a gift from God.  In a consequence-laden world like ours, and with my own baggage in tow, that God would bless my beautiful girl with a man who fears Him and loves her...is both a marvel and a gift beyond description.
