I am familiar with this couple who are newly found in their love for each other. However, that is not to say they are newly found in their acquaintance with each other. They met for the first time around six months prior at a retreat setting in the exact expression of Christian faith. The circumstances that they might find themselves in conversation were providential and were what the man used to describe as coincidental but now is assured are means of Grace. This writer has it on good authority that when these two souls made first eye contact a spark ignited in them both divine curiosity.
So, the man tells this writer that at the first chance meeting he was in a relationship with another woman, not just any relationship but a committed relationship and one in which he had been totally invested. He did not forget the penetrating look in the hazel eyes nor the remarkable strawberry blonde hair, but he did forget the name of this strikingly beautiful woman and they lost touch as they both were absorbed again by the world.
In just a couple short months, the man's committed relationship with a no less remarkable lady began to unravel. He still does not quite comprehend how a loving relationship can fall apart for it is his belief that real deep love is forever. Alas, the man's love for the first woman will always be. His faith tells him that our Creator has a plan and that there is a reason for everything. God places people in our lives at various times to serve His purpose. We are the clay. He is the potter.
Fast forward four months, and my friend found himself in the exact same place at another retreat and there she was, the angel with strawberry blond hair! This time he would take nothing for granted and seek her name and begin the wooing. He tells me that this past weekend they took a spectacular motorcycle trip to Amicalola Falls State Park. It was there that he felt and learned a whole new meaning for the word adoration and again God is good!
Writer/Editor's Note: Stay tuned as there is more to come in this Love Story. Oh and Happy Birthday to my new partner in Devotion!
Amen
