Ok so up till recently I was not sure what to "blog" about. But something happened this past weekend that changed me. I was a part of a wedding where the groom had no family. His father had been absent from his life since around 12 and his mother, aunt and grandmother, all of whom were primary caregivers through adolence and college years had all passed away. He has a sister who is mentally challenged and their relationship is more guardian/child than family.For all practical purposes, he had no family. There was no place to go for Christmas, Thanksgiving or other holidays that are typically the norm for most people. So I saw his bride coming down the isle. I knew that he would never be without a family again. He would always belong to someone.
And then i understood a little bit better about the analogy of the church being the bride. Marriage is something that creates a bond. We are bonded together in Christ. We will always belong.
