Weekend Words -a wedding update

 

2 Corinthians chapter 4 

16 So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self  is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, 18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. (English Standard Version) 

If you read this blog regularly or even occasionally, you know that I like to write updates on topics I’ve covered. This is one update I would rather not need to share with you.

This past week, Swift, the groom in this video, died from the cancer that he has so bravely endured for several years. Abbi, above a bride, is now a young widow.

Please keep her and their families in your thoughts and prayers.

Weekend words is a regular feature of watercress words. At the end of the work week we take a break from exploring strictly medical topics to read words of faith, hope and love from the Bible and other carefully selected sources.

A Wedding

Whether elaborate or simple, a wedding is always special. And some are more special than others. Take a look at this unique special wedding.

 

 

 

I don’t know Abbi and Swift, but they live in my city, and I have friends and colleagues who work at this hospital.

This kind of event doesn’t surprise me at all; people here do things like this for each other, I hope they do in your town also.

By the way, did you see the people watching outside on the sidewalk? it was almost 100 degrees that day. That’s love too.

I thought this was a nice story worth sharing. So I am. Enjoy.
