adorns the dusty roadside
tall and white,
opening proud
and it's my wedding flower
it's strong,
difficult to uproot
and
it's beauty from nothing
and
it
is
always
which is everything i want
us to be
protecting
trusting
hoping
persevering
always

ReplyDeleteps yay for strawberries
i miss you so much. see you tomorrow????? i have lunch with em, but will be at work the rest of the day.
DeleteWhen I was little I used to fill our wagon full of Queen Ann's lace and my best friend would toss it out all over the neighborhood celebrating our weddings. Good memory.
ReplyDeleteWhat reminds me of my wedding? Cold starry nights.
My daughter bought a white dress to wear for her ballet recital last weekend, and it reminded me of my wedding dress. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect wedding flowerful! Beautiful!
ReplyDeletewatching my children prepare for their marriages...sweet to reflect and a faith builder...I thought I was so mature when I got married...I was younger than the 2 of mine that have gotten married. I do love queen ann's lace. beautiful...I love your list ...protecting...trusting....amen to them all. blessings to you~
ReplyDeleteAw, so sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture of the soda bottle vase. Fits your verses well. My wedding was almost 42 years ago, and every time I look into my husband's sweet eyes I am reminded of my wedding and how God gave a 19 year old girl enough wisdom to marry such a fine man : )
ReplyDelete'beauty from nothing'--i adore that image. makes me think of who i am in Christ: my nothing filled up by His everything.
ReplyDeletesun and white and a rare duet by my brothers...that's what comes to mind when i think of my wedding.
I love Queen Anne's lace, and love the idea that you used them in your wedding. Rose of Sharon remind me of my wedding, even though I didn't use them, because I thought of doing that, and they bloom all round our anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore Queen Anne's Lace. I never thought about how its qualities well-represent a good marriage. So, sweet, Kendal.
ReplyDeleteI love that he got them from the ditch. "My Sweet Lady" by John Denver was played during our wedding so any John Denver song reminds me of that day. And the color eggplant. A 1980 wedding. What can I say?
ReplyDeletewe got married in 1992. eggplant dresses. big hair.
