Unless the Lord Builds the House | Losing Lucy and Finding Hope

I remember planning my wedding and stressing out over the many details I was supposed to care about. I was way more excited about marriage than I was the wedding, so it was kind of an inconvenience for me (is that horrible?) Anyway, one of the hardest parts for me was deciding on the verses to be read during the ceremony. I didn’t want a lot, and I didn’t want a sermon preached. I just wanted a couple verses that were very meaningful to us. There was one verse that kept grabbing my attention, so it was read during our wedding ceremony. I don’t remember the other verses I chose, but this one is bold in my memory, especially now.

Psalm 127:1 

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city,

the watchman stays awake in vain.
