Now here is the wonderful lesson in all this. A few days ago I was with my wife and children at her mother’s house having dinner. My daughter was asking to see my wife’s wedding dress and pictures. I was playing pool with my son and my daughter came in with a picture from my wife’s college days a year or two before we meet. It was a picture that she thought was totally stupid and that I would make fun of. I saw the Picture and it happened…It was her…the girl I had looked for so many years. The picture captured my heart and in a moment Christ replaced my logic with the reality that indeed there was truly one woman for me. And I was with her!
When we got home that night sitting in the garage was a box headed for the thrift store. In it was the outfit she had worn in the picture. It was forgotten and seemed to have no value, but the Lord new that in that box was exactly what I had longed for when my dreams and hopes believed that he could do anything. And the reality is that He did…and now I know that I’m blessed enough to be with my Rachel and the years in between were worth the wait.
