The Church Said Amen

Black Wedding card by Sister Lorraine Baker

Inside the card

The church said Amen. And Sister Johnson got up out of her seat. And the deacons started clapping. And somebody's grandmother started weeping because she had been praying for exactly this — exactly you two together. Your love didn't just bless you. It blessed every single person in that building.
