And the reason I can is probably due to staring at it for half an hour as my girlfriend (my future wife) could not make up her mind what to pick. I can still see this arrangement in my mind over thirty years later. You name it and beyond, it was there, and all displayed on a large arrangement of circles hanging above the pie cabinet. When my wife and I were first dating, I took her to a pie restaurant famous for its large selection of pies. It is not a biblical proverb, but an English proverb that has helped me many times, both personally and in counseling others, and it is a proverb that I would like to share with you tonight.Īn old Puritan once said, “Choose your love and love your choice” (Henry Smith). In order to make things memorable-especially given the euphoria of young love that renders the mind a bit numb at moments like this-I would like to hang my remarks on one peg, on a proverb. Since we talked last summer and I left the invitation with you (under no expectations) to seek me out anytime for counsel, it became my desire to have that opportunity, and then, suddenly and unexpectedly, the Lord answered this desire of mine through the invitation to give this charge to you on your night of blessing.
This evening is an unexpected blessing to me.
