And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, "Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them."
Now that's how you give a toast; what a wedding speech! -- not merely sweet talk sentimentality reminiscing and relaying personal anecdotes, but vision casting, blessing, faith and the future.
May my daughters be the mothers of thousands of millions. May they all be their mother's daughters in every sense of the word. May they inherit their faith, wisdom, and beauty and walk in the steps of their ancestors. May they turn a profit on what God has accomplished in this lifetime and advance the leaven through the lump more and more in each successive generation and through them. May they all vote one direction. May their convictions be nuanced and fitted to the times in which they will be born and timeless in being derived from the foundation of Jesus Christ and His apostles. May all those who oppose our great grandchildren be defeated by the grace of God and the grit and gratitude of our progeny. May the seed of the serpent be pushed back and may the gates of his kingdom not prevail against the onslaught of the faithful. May my daughter's be mothers of millions who will be resurrected to inherit the earth. May our numbers swell and cover God's green earth the way waters cover the deeps. May the blessing of Rebekah fall upon you my daughters and may the grace of God all that you do and those who will exist because of our faithfulness in fruit-bearing and child-rearing now.
*When a mother sings lullabies to her babies, she is composing the folk songs of generations and nations yet to come. She swaddles and carries in her arms the hope and faith of millions.
Godspeed and God bless!
