As with most anniversaries, we usually take some time to think about how it all began. Prior to meeting Chris I had very few long term relationships and was not much of a "dater". I would sometimes fantasize on how an arranged marriage would be so much easier. My parents probably know me better than any else in the world so why not just let them pick the person they thought best and we'd go from there. Of course that is not how our society and culture works so I was on my own for finding Mr. Right. Or was I??
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. (NIV 1984)
While I had no idea who I would marry or if I ever would, my Heavenly Father had already made those future plans for me. I had the wrong perspective in wishing I could rely on my earthly parents to choose my husband. God knows me better then even they do and He also knows Chris (who my parents had never met and therefore could never have considered for my husband). I am so grateful that I left it to God to find the perfect husband for me. I, nor my parents, could have made such a perfect match on our own.
Whine 1 (with the help of Grandma) made us each a card to celebrate this special day. This is how they were addressed:
