Today is our 25the Wedding Anniversary!
After being widowed for a couple of years I prayed about a husband. I prayed that if God didn't want me to remarry that's fine but just in case He did I would like a husband who loved to fish, golf and had no children. I wanted children of my own. He also had to be a Christian. That's all I prayed for.
About a month later, maybe less, a mutual friend set us up on a blind date. I had only 1 blind date in my life and it was horrible beyond belief!! Well, I thought about that date but decided that maybe this time would be better and I would at least make a new friend.
When I opened the door and saw him my first thought was, "I'm in trouble now!" Here stood my answer to prayer! He was everything I prayed for and even more I didn't!
Six months later we were married. We married on a Wednesday night after church so anyone who wanted to stay could stay. I worked there so a lot of people stayed and more friends/family showed up. The church was decorated for Christmas so it was really a beautiful service.
Thank you Lord for answering my prayers more than I could ever think or ask!
Happy anniversary, Linda! I can see the kindness in your hubby's face, so I don't doubt you saw in him the answer to your prayers. You've been blessed!
