Day 122
Yesterday, two of my dear friends got engaged. It was an event that was very well planned out by the groom-to-be, starting with a mini-play acted out by believers from church with very fake British accents and crazy names. (I was Katie the Exuberant. Nah, that doesn’t fit at all . . .well . . . um . . . maybe a little . . . sometimes . . .)
Although we weren’t actually there for the moment when Jeff got down on one knee and asked Caroline to marry him (and she said “yes”), it was still an honor to have a small role in that once-in-a-lifetime event. These are the moments to treasure – for them, of course – but also for us as onlookers. In the impending marriage of believers who are walking with the Lord, we can catch a glimpse of the love that Christ has for his bride, the church.
“And when in scenes of glory/We sing the new, new song/’Twill be the old, old story/That I have loved so long.”
In that wonderful forever, we’ll never stop singing of his incredible love for us.
