A bride-to-be...

This has been a very happy morning.  There is a blanket of white outside and I'm surrounded by people I love while we celebrate the greatest love of all - God sending His own son. I was thinking about these things while I was getting ready after sharing gifts with my family.

It is the best love story.

Since the beginning, He has loved His creation and He has courted His love - wooing her through the ages, though at times she has been blind and deaf and cold.  He has pursued her relentlessly, knowing that Forever together eclipsed all that it would cost Him.

On Christmas, we celebrate the day He got on one knee and proposed to humanity. We are His bride, and He sent His son as the ultimate declaration of love - His invitation to a Forever together.

With a proposal this good, can you imagine the wedding He has prepared for us?

May you all have a safe, joyous holiday with loved ones and be filled with all the warmth and assurance that comes from knowing He loves us.  Merry Christmas!
