Ruth's Thoughts, by Ruth Christenson, Eastern District President

"Engaged!"

We knew it was coming!  He had asked permission months ago, to marry our daughter.  But how much fun to hear her voice, "Mom, Matt asked me to marry him!  I said, YES!  We're engaged....." Just thinking about the wedding to come, and the home they will begin, brings a smile to our faces.

Engagement - the commitment to share a life together - to love, to serve, and to honor one another.
                  -a time of great expectation and joyful preparation.

In Bible days, the bride would get busy preparing herself and the things she would need for her new home.  She would be listening for the voice of her bridegroom, and the announcement that he was coming for her!

Meanwhile, the groom would be preparing a home for his bride.  When his father said all was ready, the groom would go to get his bride and take her to live with him.

Listen to the words Jesus used as our bridegroom, talking to us, the Church and His Bride, "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you;  for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also."   John 14:2-3

Are we busy preparing for the life we will have with Jesus in eternity? Are we listening for His Voice, eager to have Him come for us?  Imagine the place He is preparing!! Listen!  He is coming soon.

Are we sure?  Yes!  We're engaged!
