7 years ago today, amidst family, friends, decadent desserts, fragrant gardens, laughter, and dancing, I married my true love. I don't think our feet touched the ground that day. (In the interest of keepin' it real- the honeymoon didn't go on forever- there have been days that those once floating feet have wanted to drop kick the other partner in the butt!) BUT, back to my romantic blatherings- when I hear the song " Bless the Broken Road" I think of my life and the speech my dad that night that alluded to the wrong turn I had taken with my first marriage, but how God used what He wouldn't necessarily have chosen for me, and brought me full circle from a time of heartbreak for us all, to a time of joy and celebration together! In many ways, it wouldn't have been so sweet if we hadn't experienced the pain.
Bless The Broken Road
"I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you."
