preface- I’m thrilled and overjoyed to announce the engagement of our daughter Sarah, to Keith!  I loved the way Keith posted on FB- “I just asked the most wonderful woman in the world to marry me, and she said, YES!”

Is there anything more glorious?

God has asked us the same question!

[Tweet “God is proposing to us- Will you be my forever bride, my treasure- will you say Yes to my “dress”??”]

I am overwhelmed with joy in the LORD my God! For he has dressed me with the clothing of salvation and draped me in a robe of righteousness. I am like a bridegroom in his wedding suit or a bride with her jewels.

Isaiah 61:10

There’s a lot of buzz and excitement in our family because not only are Keith and Sarah engaged- but they’re getting married this coming December 8th! Yes, that’s right!  Less than 6 weeks!  So much to do to get ready!

We are making a ton of preparations! Food, wedding favors, menus, venues, invitations, a packing party to help them move, new clothes, new suit, and of course, shopping this Saturday for “the Dress”! But none of this busyness is stressful- it’s exciting and energizing- because “LOVE” is happening- right before our eyes! God is authoring a Love Story!

Brothers and Sisters! We’ve said “Yes” to His robes of adornment and righteousness!  God is authoring the greatest LOVE story in our lives right now!  LOVE is happening daily- right before our very eyes! We should all be preparing ourselves for the most unbelievable wedding of the Ages!

We are engaged to our Beloved- our Savior- the One who has clothed us with the garment of Salvation and claimed us as His own!  Wow!

What if we were told, in 6 weeks, that He was coming back for us???

  We’d be consumed with getting “ready” and inviting as many people as we could to be part of the Great Wedding Banquet!  We would let nothing get in our way.  We would joyfully go about our lives with a song in our heart- because our Bride Groom was coming to take us Home!

So as we make our preparations, invite our family and friend, and share our celebration and pictures with you all, my Surprising Treasure friends, celebrate with us in what God has done for Sarah and Keith-

but let’s rejoice even more that our God has clothed us with His salvation and is not only adorning us- He’s getting ready to come for us!

“YES!”

Maranantha!

 Surprising Treasures:

“Praise the Lord! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.

Let us be glad and rejoice, and let us give honor to him.

For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb,

and his bride has prepared herself. She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear.”

For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s holy people. Rev. 19:6-8
