Congrats Tamarra & Monte'

Good morning DIVAS Walking Worthy!

I had the privilege to be present to attend my baby sister's wedding.  It was a celebration and everything was done not only in decency and in order but in love.  If our mother was present, she would have beamed with light so bright and it would have overflowed out into the crowd of witnesses.

Instead of her being there, God's presence was there and he truly smiled on both my sister and her now hubby.  You were unable to have the privilege of attending but here is a poem I was asked to write as well as read while the lovely wedded couple to be lit the remembrance candle for our mother that was called from this life to glory Oct 2002.

A MOTHER’S LOVE

BY Dana L Christmas-McCain

My Daughter,

As you light this candle in remembrance of me

Baby girl, don’t cry for me

I’m in heaven delightfully kneeling at my Lord and Savior’s feet

LEAH,

As you light this candle today

Yes you were my youngest child

May the light be reminiscent of the light of God’s Word as He leads you and guides you all the way

TT-LEAH,

May the love I exposed you to be a glimpse of the greatest Source imaginable

The same love that motivated Christ to the Cross and offers salvation to the lost

Lil Mama,

Know that God is pleased with your decision

Much like Christ is your foundation in faith, may your marriage be built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and his righteousness

Montrelle,

He who finds a wife, finds a good thing

God finds favor with you my son

Be good to my daughter, she may be your wife but remember she first belongs to the Lord

Be careful how you treat her

Love my daughter as Christ loves the church

Tamarra,

The young woman and now a beautiful bride to be

Standing before a crowd of witnesses

Most importantly before the Lord’s precious eyes to see

Light this candle in jubilation

It truly is a celebration

Don’t just smile but may the joy from your heart beam and shout out, “My oh my, What a joyous occasion!”

Tamarra,

Remember, this is no time to cry for me

I love you my daughter

I love you my child

Leah, my baby, TT

Now a beautiful bride to be!

To God be the Glory!

Amen
