Wedding Blessing For
Justin Rosander and Melissa Susco

It is the time between times
When the world stands still
And two people say their vows
In the presence of God......
The veil between this world and the next
Is thinner than usual and we can see
Our Lord, the One who invented love,
The One who blesses the union of two hearts and lives
And somehow makes them one with each other and,
Wonder of wonders, with Himself.

May the tangible Presence of the Holy One bless you both
On this special, beautiful day
and throughout your days together....
As you stoke the fires of your love
for each other and for God.....
In your sitting down
and in your rising up....
In your laughter and play
and in your tears and challenges.....
In the common chores of life
and the uncommon moves of God.

May you be blessed with the joys of fidelity,
with the strength of His grace,
with the canopy of His glory,
with the freedom of true purity,
and with the impact of wisdom.

God before you to lead the way
God behind you to protect and guard
At every step and in every path.

God around you as a tower of defense
keeping all things safe
making your home a haven
giving you the giggles of children
and the sunshine of picnics

God above you with His blessing
upon the prophetic and the evangelistic
upon clear writing and bold speaking
upon sweet worship and freedom-ministry
upon Spirit sensitivity and sweet-incense praying.

May His grace make you graceful.
May His love fill your marriage
with the deep bonds of peace.
May the many and rich blessings of the Sure Swift Hand
fall ever upon your lives
as the gentle dew from heaven
from this day forth and forevermore.

With love,
Dr. Carolyn Tennant
