25th Wedding Anniversary

 
     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!
