marco island beach wedding and Feasts of the Lord

Hi from a little part of Paradise. The weather has finally warmed up and Marco is at its most luscious. I was privileged to officiate at a wedding on the beach last week and used a ceremony that is helpful as a substitution for the unity candle ceremony. It is called the Sand Blessing. The couple brings with them 3 containers - vases, bottles, dishes, decanters..... after vows and exchange of rings, the man and woman scoop up sand from the beach into their separate containers, then pour them together into one. The grains of sand merge together, representing the uniting of two lives. It was beautiful and meaningful. The couple then has a permanent mimento to keep as a reminder of their wedding day. The Sand ceremony may be used away from a beach - the couple may bring 2 colors of sand and pour together, creating a specially colorful work of art.
We are in the season of Lent - a season of reflection and contemplation of our human weakness and God's neverending faithfulness. I am reminded of Moses and God on Mt. Sinai - God had patience enough to give Moses the Ten Commandments TWICE - what a patient God we have! Also, God gave Moses 7 Feasts - each to be celebrated forever. I highly recommend a reading of Leviticus 23 for a rundown. Their have been 4 feasts already fulfilled by Jesus Christ - Passover(Crucifixion), Unleavened Bread(Jesus dead and entombed), Firstfruits(Resurrection!!!!) and the Feast of Weeks(Pentecost-beginning of Christ's Church) . The last 3 feasts have yet to be fulfilled: Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Booths. Quantum physics is beginning to believe that instead of space and time being linear, it may be resembling a CIRCLE - 'world without end, Amen'. "I AM the Alpha and the Omega."
Revelation is meant for all God's children. May He allow us to increase in knowledge of Him and His plan and purpose for a peaceful Creation. Watch for the next blog - more about the Seven Feasts of the Lord and human gestation. Science is confirming God's work!!!!!
God bless til next time.
