Going To A Wedding

We're going to a wedding of our used-to-be neighbor and a son of friends who went to high school with our daughter. It will be a joyous occasion where we will see many people we know. The best thing is our daughter and her family will be there. We're all staying at my in-laws home and we get to visit with our newest grandson and his sister. Yippee!

The Bible many times refers to the church as the bride of Christ. Revelation 19:7-8 says, " 'Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.' (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the saints.)" How important it is to be right with God and the only way is to know his Son. He stands waiting like a bridegroom for his bride, ready with open arms to receive her as a pure and holy bride. What a wonderful vision. Are you ready?

I made this gift, combining both the shower and wedding invitations. I made a handmade transparency of the couple and overlaid it on the wedding invitation, added the scroll decoration from the wedding invitation, added ribbon, flowers, plastic doves and etched in gel medium and highlighted with paint. I had reversed a frame making it into a shadow box and had painted it.
