Marriage and God's Timing
Today is a special day in our household. My youngest son celebrated his 14th birthday today. It is also 35 years ago that I met my wife. Little did I know that when I met her, that I would marry her. I had attended a Christian college, with over 2,000 blond Dutch girls there. In His wisdom, the Lord closed the door. So I completed my navy training and was commissioned on 24 September 1976. Then the next night, I went to a fund raising dinner hosted by the New York International Bible Society (now the International Bible Society). And it was there that I met my red-headed wife 35 years ago. God knows better than I do who was best for me. Humanly speaking, I went to college with 2,000 Christian girls, yet I could not find my wife. I joined the navy, and the very day after I was commissioned, I met my future wife. In his infinite wisdom, God provided me a wife, when I needed a wife. Kathy has been a blessing to me.
