Title: Is there any greater blessing?
Post by: zachor_ve_kavod on November 02, 2008, 12:44:23 AM
I just came home from a wedding.  It was in a rural community.  They didn't spend much money, it wasn't particularly lavish.  But as I watched the bride and groom dance their first dance as husband and wife, I thought back to my first dance with my wife.  I have been very blessed by G-d and I thank Him every day for my family.  I watched these two children tonight get married.  I was the groom's teacher many years ago.  And I can see what a decent man he has become and G-d has blessed him with a decent wife.  Soon, G-d willing, they will have a family together, and they will raise their children on a righteous path.

I think we too often get bogged down, asking ourselves what will be.  Who will win this election; Which bill will pass;  Who will look kindly upon us; Who will not.

Remember that each day that G-d gives us is really a blessing.  If we can get married and start a family, that is it--There really is no greater blessing than that.  The next time you go to a wedding, remember to rejoice!  You are witnessing the greatest of all miracles.  It is said that G-d spend the first six days creating the world and that ever since, He has been arranging marriages.
