Wonder of wonder
We were listening to the music from Fiddler on the Roof and enjoyed so many of the songs. Sunrise, sunset, quickly fiy the years.
What a beautiful thought. I was so touched by that song when it was sung at my cousin Janice's wedding some years ago. Now with our own children grown -- it has even more meaning and sentiment. We are blessed to be conducting a service for a young woman and her intended tomorrow in Illinois. We remember her from her 1st grade and growing up in the church we served as she moved from there to college. We are so pleased to see her family and others who have come for this event.
This afternoon we had the rehearsal and all went well. We had a good time in fact. It is a beautiful place where it is being held and we are so happy that we get to share in this moment in all their lives.
Wonder of wonder it is amazing how time moves on and how people grow up and how wonderful things change in so many ways. We all live our lives still day by day. Years roll into years and it is wonderful for us all. We take each step --each breath--never for granted but as a blessing.
We pray you will celebrate with us Katharine and Aaron. And celebrate your own lives as well, grounded in the presence of your Creator.
God abide

In case you forgot the words. From Fiddler on the Roof
Sunrise, Sunset Lyrics
(Tevye)
Is this the little girl I carried? Is this the little boy at play?
(Golde)I don't remember growing older
When did they?
(Tevye) When did she get to be a beauty? When did he get to be so tall?
(Golde) Wasn't it yesterday When they were small?
(Men) Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly flow the days
Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers Blossoming even as we gaze
(Women) Sunrise, sunset, Sunrise, sunset Swiftly fly the years One season following another
Laden with happiness and tears
(Tevye) What words of wisdom can I give them? How can I help to ease their way?
(Tevye) Now they must learn from one another Day by day
((All) Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly flow the days Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers
Blossoming even as we gaze
Sunrise, sunset Sunrise, sunset Swiftly fly the years
One season following another Laden with happiness and tears
Blessing to you all
