Her daughter at prayer meeting.
The young woman's aggressive cancer has
Returned and she's just become engaged.
Is the couple foolish or are they being brave?
Should they wait until November for
Their wedding as planned, or should
They elope?
Should the bride-to-be begin chemo?
It's untested for her particular type and
The side effects are great.
Is it too dangerous to wait?
The endless questions don't seem to
Have answers.
But in their struggle, Lord, the committed pair
Want to honor You, to somehow bring
You glory.
Shelter them in Your tender
Loving care.
Shield them from despair.
May the love they share be broad enough,
High enough,
Deep enough to carry them through their
Days together whether they be blissful or
Unbearably painful, whether they be
Many or few.
May the star struck couple find courage to
Follow their hearts in following You.
