Last night I had the privilege of going to dinner with a friend. My firstborn was staying the night with a cousin and my man and baby girl went to small group. This left me free after I got off work at seven. My friend, Christine, met me at my house and we quickly headed out to dinner. We were both starving since it was now almost 8 o'clock. Neither of us wanting to make the decision on where to eat we finally decided on 54th St. After some good food and great conversation, she handed me an envelope. Inside was a sweet homemade card and it said
It's hard to believe that in just a little while , Ben and I will be walking down the aisle. Nothing would give me more joy and pride, then to have you there by my side. Will you be my bridesmaid?
I am sure I looked like a little girl after reading this. I have never been a bridesmaid and consider it a complete honor. I was overjoyed when I told her I would love to be her bridesmaid. I find this to be a very important role. Do I look forward to getting to have an excuse to wear a super cute dress and get all dressed up? Of course I do! But mostly, it is my duty to be there for my friend ~ in planning her wedding, picking out the perfect dress, and most importantly...being there for her in her marriage. I will be sitting front row and center cheering her on all the way!
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work; If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 NIV
