She knew he was coming. She knew why he was coming. She knew when he was coming.

Meet Shari, our own new addition to our family. It’s been about almost eight days since she joined us.

Shari knew Russell was coming to Missouri for her, to make her his bride. But she had to wait a long time.

While she waited, she prepared. She kept herself for him alone. She communicated with him.

I should be like Shari.

“And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come” (1 Thessalonians 1:10).

Someone is coming for me, too!

May I prepare for Him . . . and keep myself for Him alone . . . and communicate with Him.
