About Me

Just like it says above, this blog is a place were I can share treasures. A place I can share Bible verses, sermons or thoughts that have helped and encouraged me. My hope and prayer is that they will do the same for you. My name is Laura and I come from Northern Ireland but for the last 20 years I have lived in Denmark with my husband and 3 children. My husband is Danish so he is the MAIN reason for me living where I do. Our children are not so young anymore, our oldest daughter Sara is 19, our son Andrew is 17 and our daughter Leah is 13.

Love is in the air....

Yesterday Prince William and Kate got married and there was wedding fever everywhere. Being totally into romance, I joined the fun. I ooohhhhed and aaaahhhhed everything. I had really looked forward to seeing William´s face as Kate walked up the aisle to him, but I had forgotten that in England the man stands with his back to his bride. Here in Denmark the man watches his bride as she walks up the aisle to him. I really like that. I usually don´t look at the bride when she comes into the church but look at the man to see his face. The love and joy that shows in his face always makes me smile. 


So after seeing William and Kate´s wedding I went into youtube and watched the Danish Royal wedding that took place a few years ago between our Prince Frederik and his Mary- an ordinary girl from Australia. I was ooohhhing and aaaahing all over again! haha

There is a short clip below. Have a look...


 I love the way Frederik is so emotional. He has a hard time keeping it together and then he sees his bride and a smile appears on his face. 

When the father and bride come up and bow to the Queen he can hardly hold himself back from going over to greet them. 

As he and Mary sit and wait for the service to begin, he whispers something to her, she lays her hand on his leg and he takes her hand and strokes it. The stroke that speaks a 1000 words. 

There is nothing he wouldn´t do for her. You can see he loves her, you can see he would protect her, you can see he rejoices over having her in his life.

All this made me think about a verse from the Bible....


Isaiah 62, 5 " as a bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so will your God rejoice over you."

Isn´t that wonderful?!!! God rejoices over you and me today in the same way. He loves us, He cares about us. He takes our hand and strokes it as if to say, "I love you. It´s ok, I´m right beside you" There is nothing he wouldn´t do for us. He wants to protect us, comfort us, help us. He wants to go through life with us - sharing everthing. I´m glad I have that kind of God:-)
