On the twenty-third day of the seventh month HE sent the people to their homes, joyful and glad in heart for the good things the Lord had done

Truly the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised! Sunday last, the 23rd day of the 7th month, GOD did send us home joyful and glad in heart... You see my son Miles, Pastor Miles DeBenedictis took a wife, the lovely and beautiful Andrea. What a great time of rejoicing and praising the LORD God who is the giver of every good and perfect gift.

I could not be more happy for the both of them. My heart is full and thankful, at His great goodness and faithfulness towards His beloved children.

Not only were they beautiful physically, but spiritually; internally, so much so, they seemed to glow... or perhaps it is the glory of the LORD that shines out from those whom are filled with His Holy Spirit. What a great day, to be surrounded by so many that we love, all coming to share in this momentous occasion. My heart is full, still enjoying the celebration of their love and union.

I rejoice in Christ my Savior, and in His goodness, that He has given us love, and one another to love... What a mighty God we serve, Angels bow before Him, Heaven and Earth adore HIM, What a mighty God we serve.

The LORD reminded me of this wonderful passage in 2nd Chronicles 7:10, as HE answered a prayer for me, with this verse 16 years ago, when deciding weather or not to return from England.... HE is sovereign, HE is good, HE answers prayers, and gives us the desires of our hearts... HE is worthy to be praised.
"On the 23rd day of the 7th month, HE sent the people to their homes, rejoicing and glad in heart for the good things HE had done."

TO GOD, FATHER, SON AND HOLY SPIRIT, BE ALL GLORY, HONOR AND PRAISE, NOW AND FOREVER, AMEN.
