People
People who need people
Are the luckiest people in the world.
There’s children needing other children
And yet letting our grown up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children, than children.
Lovers are very special people
They’re the luckiest people in the world
With one person, one very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
That said you were half and now you’re whole
No more hunger and thirst
But first be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people
In the world
So that’s a song that takes us way back but even further back are TRUE words from God’s book.
Above all, continue to love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins.
I Peter 4:8.

Not really having family this just blows my mind to see so much love come together.
What a great gathering of the clan! Such a lovely bunch of smiles, well, except for the couple of grumps. Every family has to have a few! =D
I am taking notes, madly. Those family photos are SO important, as when, but at a wedding, are so many together at one time? Well done!
It is a blessing to know one is blessed by having lots of family!
People need people…so true. And who better to be surrounded by at a wedding than family! Your family is the best at ‘coming together’ for every occasion. Beautiful photos.
Wow! I can tell how special family is to you! Love how you summed it up with that old song and then especially the verse, Jesus’ words about loving each other, becasue love covers a mulitude of sins.
Wow!!!!! So heart warming.
Thanks for sharing with us all the beautiful people you can call your own… your dear family. What a beautiful, blessed family indeed. I love that song too, and of course, the precious Bible verse. Thanks again, Ellen!
How very blessed your parents must feel to see how their family has grown and prospered in love and affection!
Sweetest wedding so far — a wedding is made special by those who attend, and from what I see, your family is lavishly loved!
Beautiful wedding, beautiful family and beautiful friends! So glad everything went well and that you were happy and pleased! God is good!
