Glad tidings

December 22, 2015

Happy news in our family this Christmas season: our daughter is engaged!


We are rejoicing together, and so thankful for the man who is to be our son-in-law.

And you better believe I will be blogging about plans for the upcoming wedding in 2016. And the search for the perfect dress (including mine!). And all the other fun and happy festivities that surround the joining of two hearts.

*******

Of course, there are other glad tidings right now. Whether the news in our life is happy or sad, whether we are rejoicing or grieving, whether good times or bad, the news that Christ came into our world, broke through the darkness and gave us hope, will always be true.

Have a very Merry Christmas, dear friends. I'll be visiting in between the cooking and feasting, gift-giving and thanks-giving.

  13. Congratulations!! What a fun time for all of you!! Have they set a date yet?

    I just walked this path a few months ago. My daughter got married a bit over 2 months ago---on October 10th. They had gotten engaged the end of May, so we had a little over 4 months to plan. Everything came together beautifully, just as I'm sure it will for you.

    Merry Christmas!

    Love,
    Patti

  16. Such beautiful news, Deborah.
    Congratulations to your daughter, and to you and your husband. It is such a wonderful time for you as a mother during those days of preparation for the wedding day, oh you will love it!
    Reading this brings back beautiful memories as a mother myself, having two daughters.
    I just know you will find the "right" dress.
    Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones.

  18. Of course it's the wonderful news that matters, not the ring. However, I have to say that the ring is really beautiful :)
