THE GIRL I PRAYED FOR

Today I, Roger, am blogging for Mary. You see, Mary turns 65 today. She is the love of my life and a gift from God. When I was a young teen, I heard Billy Graham tell a story about his daughter when she was 8 years old. "Daddy, does God know who I will marry some day?" "God knows everything, let's pray for him right now." From that day on, I began to pray for that girl that God had for me. Girls came and went and I kept their names out of that prayer. I met Mary when I came to Hutchinson in August, 1966, to teach at Central Christian. It took very little time until I realized that this was the girl that I was praying for. She was everything that I had dreamed about. She is my dearest friend. Mary is wonderful Mom to our 6 children and a very devoted grandmother to our 23 grandchildren and a loving daughter to her parents. Mary, it is so special to know that God picked you out for me. As your husband, today on your birthday, I praise you (Proverbs 31:28) and the God who gave you to me. Happy Birthday, Mary! I love you - Rog

Where have those years gone? I remember well the day that picture was taken. Yes, Mary, I am glad that God prepared just the right girl for my brother.
Roger in Ks. City, I could have told you a long time ago where you got the hopeless romantic side from, probably both!
