Great is They Faithfulness

Last month we had the privilege of seeing one of God's glorious pictures of Himself played out.....

 

... in the wedding of our brother and sister in the Lord, David and Stephanie Johnson. What a blessing to sit and witness the words of Jesus, "So then they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no man separate." (Matt.-19:6)

 

 

But now we  have more exciting news! Our own dear Carissa has been in company lately with a very particular friend, Nathan Parker. :D And a little less then a month ago he asked and she said yes!

 

 

(They don't have an engagement picture yet. This is the best I could find. Hahaha!)

Won't they make a fine old couple some day?

 



 

The ring he gave her has diamonds and rubies on the sides and inside is engraved 'Proverbers-31:10'.

So, Lord willing in May, Lydia, Abby, and I will have a brother!

 

 

Great is His faithfulness.

Thanksgiving Day

"I think we delight to praise what we enjoy because the praise not
merely expresses but completes the enjoyment; it is its appointed

consummation. It is not out of compliment that lovers keep on telling
one another how beautiful they are; the delight is incomplete till it
is expressed...

The worthier the object the more intense this delight
would be. If it were possible for a created soul fully (I mean up to
the full measure conceivable in a finite being) to "appreciate", that
is to love and delight in, the worthiest object of all, and
simultaneously at every moment to give this delight perfect
expression, then that soul would be in supreme beatitude...

The Scotch catechism says that man's chief end is "to glorify God and enjoy Him
forever". But we shall then know that these are the same thing. Fully
to enjoy is to glorify. In commanding us to glorify Him, God is
inviting us to enjoy Him."
~C.S. Lewis~
