Bible Verses from Daddy

I woke up this morning, checked my email and I couldn't help but tear. I know for sure I'm going to cry so much on my wedding day!

Dearest Caryn,

Now these Bible verses are specially for you:

For "Future" Wives

1. "Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything." (Ephesians 5:22-24)

2. "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." (1 Peter 3:3-4)

3. "Charm is deceptive, beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." (Proberbs 31:30)

4. "A wife of noble character is her husband's crown..." (Proverbs 12:4)

5. "A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value... Her children arise and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many women do noble things, but you surpass them all.'" (Proverbs 31:10-11, 28-29)

Caryn, being a wife, and a mother, a daughter-in-law, and a Cmoe all at the same time will not be easy at all! You will need a lot of love, patience, forgiveness, mercy, wisdom,... Mom and I have been praying regularly for you and we will continue to remember you in our prayer for as long as we are your Mom and dad.

Love always,
Mom and Dad
