Silhouette in the Sunset

Well! 

At about 5 this afternoon, after pondering all alternatives, our daughter and her fiancé decided to see if they could bring their wedding forward by three weeks, to the day after tomorrow. To try to beat lockdown. Will be in Bedford, in the open air, with immediate family only. Everyone has been fantastic, shifting plans, cooperating to make it as good as we can, accepting disappointments. Her dress isn't ready, so we've been looking and ordering something online, hoping they can deliver tomorrow.

Went for a quick walk to get fresh air, them both talking non-stop on their phones, to folk, arranging. Gifted with a stunning sunset.

Lent verse is Deuteronomy 27v19:
God's curse on anyone who interferes with justice due the foreigner, orphan, or widow.
Anyone vulnerable, basically. May we be ones who fight for justice wherever we can.

Gratefuls:
- finding a solution for these two
- the way everyone has been so supportive
- their positive attitude about all the losses and changes - was to be 300 guests in our church; now no church or guests other than family; honeymoon will be three weeks after the wedding, if it goes ahead, (in the UK, thankfully), Julia has to work, as a midwife, for those weeks - but they stay cheerful and upbeat
