She is counting the days, hours, minutes! To her, the waiting is awful! The moments she gets to spend on the phone with him only make her more depressed when the conversation is over. She is "eagerly anticipating" his return. In fact, she's made plans, booked a hotel, and reserved a car (mine) to actually drive the 8 hours to go get him and bring him back!
I'm also waiting for my man to come home. He's on a journey that many people dream about. He flew to California, bought a motorcycle, and is cruising across the country, seeing America, talking with Jesus. I don't know the day, or hour of his return. I text him, run to the phone when it rings in case it's him. I read his emails and blog posts over several times. I share his posts with friends and family. I am preparing our home for when he returns. Making sure it's clean, in order, stocked with food!
In my time with Jesus this morning (I can't call it "quiet time," because with my Buster, there IS NO quiet time) I thought about how I could tweak these things into an excellent teaching!
I don't know the time or date of my Jesus' return. I know he's coming, but not when. I prepare the home of my heart for him, every day. I tell my friends and family that he's coming. I want to be like the parable of the virgins who had oil in their lamp, ready when the day arrives.
Jesus is really looking forward to his arrival. He is making a place for us to stay, "booking a room at a 5 star" so to speak. He's got the car ready. His Father knows the time: day, hour, minute! They are both anticipating the reunion with the Bride!
That gives me chills!
o.k. more later- I have a house to clean and a Welcome Home party to prepare for!!!
