Sunday Sentence: On the Occasion of My Daughter’s Wedding

Simply put, the best sentence(s) I’ve read this past week, presented out of context and without commentary.

This week’s sentence is one I heard twice yesterday: during a wedding ceremony and at the reception that followed. My beautiful, purple-haired daughter Kylie was united in marriage to a prince of a man, Dave Liddick, in front of a small gathering of family and friends in a pristine clearing on Homestake Pass, just a few minutes from our home in Butte, Montana, and not far from where Kylie and Dave first met several years ago. The day, like the verse from Corinthians, was perfect; and so, I thought I’d share our family’s joy with the rest of you and honor their love with this special Sunday Sentence.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
