Hi!Last Saturday, September 5th our German daughter Damaris aka DeeDy was married to her long time friend Dietrich Eichenberg. Our hearts rejoiced as we awaited to hear about her wedding. I was so surprised when I checked my email late Sunday evening to find pictures that her dear mother Andrea had sent to us. Now we await the video so that we can enjoy watching her celebration.
As I looked at the wedding pictures I couldn't believe my eyes. The 15 year old girl that arrived in our home in July of 2006 was now a 18 year old young woman and now a married woman.
This got me thinking about how time just seems to go by so fast. Our kids are babies one day and attending college and getting married they next. Seasons change and we change with them.
I have been reading in 1 Chronicles as of late. Genealogy, Genealogy, Genealogy!!! At first it can be so discouraging to read as I struggle to pronounce names of a language I don't even speak, but then the Lord laid on my heart that if he cared enough to mention these people in His word back then, then how much more does he care about His believers today. Our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life if we have accepted him as our Savior. We have a genealogy that comes directly from Christ! Now we have the Holy Spirit who guides us to become like Christ and to bring Christ glory.
One thing I am looking forward to in heaven is that I will never have to be seperated from "my family" again as we all know Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
What a reunion it will be to be with those believers that we love!
Blessings!
