Last evening there was a message on our answering machine from Shortgrass. He and Jan happen to be in Kansas this week-end, without access to a computer. He indicated if I felt inspired maybe God could come up with a Good Sunday Mornin' message and use me to tell it. :wink:
A young lady became pregnant when she was 16 years old. Her boy friend, the father of the baby was just 15. The young couple chose not to get married at such a tender age, but the girl decided to have the baby and put it up for adoption. When a cute bouncing baby girl arrived on the scene, the mother helped determine which couple adopted her baby. The girl was raised by very loving supportive parents and grew up with a younger sister and brother, both of which she adored. Life was good.
The baby girl grew up surrounded by a loving extended family. She knew her biological mother and saw her occasionally through the years. They kept in touch with letters and phone calls.
Fast forward 18 years. The young lady and her biological grandmother journeyed from Idaho to Nebraska to spend a week in June visiting the girl's biological mother. The tourists took in a local event, where the girl was introduced to a young cowboy. The two seemed to instantly hit it off and managed to see each other three more times during the short week she was in Nebraska. In August, the cowboy scraped together some summer wages to ride an airplane to Idaho to visit his new sweetie. They pined away the next year while both were seniors in high school living 1100 miles apart. They attended the same junior college for two years, and were both awarded associate degrees at graduation. A month later they were married at a wonderful ceremony in Idaho.
Surely God had His Hand in how this all came together, for the Kosmo Kid to meet and marry his Idaho Sweet Potato.
Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them."
Have a Good Sunday Mornin' and a great rest of the week.
