To Say-I Do

The other day I heard two lovers having a quarrel. They were sitting on a park bench at the arboretum near my home. I though to myself, "I wonder what the big fuss is all about?" I mean who knows when the biggest situation of your life comes along and then you wont be able to tell that person how much you love them? What if a car accident took their life suddenly, or they happened to suffer from a life threatening condition? It is not a good thing to waste a beautiful sun shiny day on bickering. If I were them I would go hiking and make up a silly song along the way. I would take all of the cards that my true love sent to me and read them to him over a picnic lunch. I would even try to guess what his favorite movies were and imitate some of the lines. Life is way too precious to waste our God-given time. Someone asked me to marry him just the other day. I said, "No way!" "Do you know how difficult of a person that I can be?" I come with an instruction manual and a very strict set of rules! I even get overly emotional over the silliest things, like at the end of a great love story. I told him "You need to pray and ask the Lord to send you the perfect one because I am already taken." I was taken before I was already born. I am just waiting on him to come along. You see there is someone perfect for every single person upon this planet. We just have to wait on the Lord's perfect timing. His timing and our timing are not the same. When His perfect timing arrives, that special someone will catapult to the scene and then you will see all the fingerprints of God upon the relationship. It will be undeniable that this person was the one that the Lord sent. Then you won't waste a single sun shiny day bickering on a park bench! Gwendolen Rix 2-28-16
