“Blessed is the man that loves Thee, O God, and his friend in Thee, and his enemy for Thee.  For he alone loses no one that is dear to him, if all are dear to God, Who is never lost.” ~St. Augustine, Confessions

This past weekend, I had the wonderful opportunity to travel to a wedding uniting two very special people through the Sacrament of Matrimony.  It was such a joy-filled day!  Everyone who knew the couple had been waiting for this day for a while. =)  People traveled from far and wide.  The ceremony and reception were beautiful, and it was just an amazing weekend overall.  

The whole weekend made me think about friendship.  The friendship between the bride and the groom is so wonderful and is just the beginning to the beautiful lifelong commitment they made to each other.  Not only was friendship witnessed to by the bride and groom, it was also evident in the people who came to the wedding.  Many of us who were in attendance have worked at CFL in the past.  Many of our friendships started there.  Throughout the weekend, I was reminded again of how blessed I am to have such wonderful and amazing friendships with good, Catholic people.  To be able to come together again and laugh and talk and enjoy each other's company, it was like we'd never been apart.  To me, that is a test of true friendship, and that true friendship is because of God, because it was built on God.  It amazes me, how wonderful God makes my life by working through my brothers and sisters in Christ.
