on covenant making

January 7, 2013 wally metts4 Comments

A covenant is more than a contract. It does not protect our interests, as a contract does. It surrenders them. You come here to surrender yourself to the interests of each other, and you do this by making an oath. There is no mingling of blood, but a mingling of purpose as God himself makes you one flesh.

I'm praying that you will soon realize that these blessings are all a gift. And that understanding what grace looks like, you will grow to know what it is.

Our Thanksgiving was not what the Pilgrims had in mind, but I wouldn't trade their life for mine.

The relationship between gratitude and well-being is simple to understand but difficult to apply.

We have a lot yet to learn. But we are determined to learn it, and to extend grace with calmness and certitude in our final hours.
