September is a big month for our family! This month finds us celebrating three wedding anniversaries and four birthdays! (And today is the last grand event of the month -- Happy Anniversary to my youngest son, Joel, and his sweet wife, Mandy). It is always a happy time when the family gets together, recalls sweet memories of the past year, enjoys eating cake and ice cream, and plays games together! It makes me think of the song by Bill Gaither -- "I love the thrill that I feel when I get together with God's wonderful people . . ."
And then I remember -- our little celebrations here are as nothing when we think about the glorious celebration that awaits us at the "Marriage Supper of the Lamb".
"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God." (Revelation 19:7-9)
Sometimes we may have to miss family celebrations here on earth, but let us make up our mind that we will allow absolutely nothing, small or great, to hinder us from being at the marriage supper of the Lamb!
