The Twinkle in his Eye

My husband has this twinkle in his blue eyes. It shines only when it looks at me. To me that special light and his smile are more precious than gold. It tells me that he loves me, that he's there for me, and that I'm his one and only. I can usually tell he's looking at me, even when my back is turned.

Our wedding day - 1991

I consider myself blessed because he has had this twinkle for 21 years of marriage as of this Friday. I'm praying for many more years of this. God brought us together all those years ago, against my desires. When I was younger, I said that I'd never marry a teacher or preacher. I wanted someone who had different likes and interests. I learned not to tell God anything. However, God knows best. He knows that when you have similar likes and interests, there are more things to do and enjoy together.

So I married this man who was a teacher in a Christian school with a passion for the Lord. Ten years into the marriage, the Lord leads us to seminary and we head off for California. Little did we know that we would remain here. Glen has been my pastor for the last seven years; we just celebrated our church anniversary at the beginning of this summer.

Our son's adoption day - 2009

We've weathered a few storms in our life together and they have only been to make us stronger as one before the Lord. Genesis 2:24 - Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. It's been an amazing adventure and one that will continue until death do us part.

The Lord has blessed us and I am extremely grateful for His provision of a godly man for my husband. I will do whatever it takes to keep that twinkle in the eye of my husband. I love you, Glen!
