When I think of new beginnings, I immediately think of our daughter and new son-in-law who were married September 24th. The venue, the ceremony, and my daughter were all beautiful, but the love that God has for them and offering them a fresh start is truly amazing.
They were college friends who reconnected after 9 years. They both have baggage they could bring into this marriage however they realize that only through their faith and their love for one another will they be able to let go of the past and move on to the future that God intends for them. My husband Myron and I were the last couple on the dance floor for the anniversary dance at their wedding, having celebrated 41 years of marriage in May. My hope for my daughter is that some day that will be them.
As a staff, our hope is that this issue of UME News encourages you to consider where you may need to let go of the past or accept the gift of a fresh start that this time of year brings and begin again so that you too are the last couple on the dance floor.
