One of the things that was most amazing to me about hosting the wedding this past weekend was how God used it as an opportunity for the body of Christ to help each other. So many people helped not only Clair and Ben, but also helped me. God truly sent me a helper every day last week. I didn't seek these people out, but they offered to play with my children, pressure wash my driveway, bring me breakfast, decorate my yard, and more. It really helped me not feel overwhelmed. I guess God knew I needed the help.
My best helpers were my children though. They have been so patient while I worked on cleaning inside and outside the past few weeks. They (mostly) happily rode their bikes while I pressure washed the driveway or planted flowers or weeded the yard. They even helped clean inside and tolerated my craziness when I started organizing everything in sight. Hey, you just never know who may look into your linen closet!
Clair had so many sweet friends who came to help prepare things last week--put out candles and jars, hang sheers, add ivy to the arch, make wedding signs, direct traffic, bring food and drinks for the wedding party, and just take care of so many details.
We know that this wedding was covered in prayer by so many people, and one of the ways that was obvious to me was by the help of everyone involved. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
