AN HONOR, A PRIVILEGE AND A PLEASURE
A recent college graduate friend (he graduated at the top of his class from a very tough academic college) has decided to marry. He is excited and happy. I am happy and excited for him.
I do not know his fiancée. I hope he has chosen well. Knowing him as I do, I am confident that he has done so. He has never done anything impulsively or irrationally. He always thinks things through and weighs everything carefully. Of course, when it is a matter of the heart, it is a good thing not to be too rational! :)
I have grown to highly respect this young man. I greatly admire him and trust his judgments implicitly. Rarely have I known a person of any age to have the love for, and dedication to Christ and His Kingdom that this young man has demonstrated throughout his college years. During this time he has willingly given untold hours of service to the Kingdom through his campus ministry organization. And he held a part time job and graduated at the top of his class! He has his priorities arranged in proper order: God, family, school/career. He and possibly 4 other young men I know and love truly demonstrate that they are 1 Timothy 4:12 young men.
This young man has highly honored and deeply humbled me by offering the privilege of officiating at his wedding ceremony. My prayer is that I will honor him and glorify Christ as I fulfill his request.
Thank you, my friend, for this privilege.
