We're in the midst of a honeymoon here at Shiloh.  It's such a special time for the new couple.  And we get to do lots of little things to make it extra special for each couple.  

Our current  couple is out on the balcony eating a lovely meal at this precise moment.  The table is set with our best dishes.  They've actually been on the balcony since lunch, talking, reading God's Word, praying, talking some more.  They are having a wonderful, relaxing time together.  We had to clear off the lunch dishes in order to set the table for dinner.  We don't normally do that right in front of the couple, but they didn't give us a choice.

The groom came downstairs at 7:30 this morning.  He found Papa Jim busy making breakfast for me.  When asked if he would like a cup of coffee, he said a resounding "YES!"  He was so cute.  He told Papa Jim that his wedding ring feels real good on his finger.  Said he's getting used to it, though he's clunking it into everything.  He went upstairs with his coffee and came right back down asking for hot tea for his bride.  

This particular groom is in our extended family.  We've known him for a lot of years.  In fact we all witnessed to him.  It was a thrilling day at Shiloh when we learned that he had given his heart and life to our Lord.  And we've loved watching him grown in grace and the knowledge of God.  And now God has blessed him with a lovely lady to walk through life with.  We couldn't be happier for them.

We actually never had a honeymoon when we got married 49 years ago.  But we've been on lots of honeymoons at Shiloh, so we're old hands at this now!
