The Girl In The Yellow Coat A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. Genesis 2:24 Read: Genesis 2:18-25 Bible in a Year: Leviticus 6-7; Matthew 25:1-30 It was her yellow raincoat that caught my attention, and quickly I became increasingly interested in this cute freshman with long, brown hair. Soon I worked up my courage, interrupted Sue as she walked along reading a letter from a guy back home, and awkwardly asked her for a date. To my surprise, she said yes. More than 4 decades later, Sue and I look back and laugh at our first uncomfortable meeting on that college campusâand marvel how God put a shy guy from Ohio together with a shy girl from Michigan. Through the years, we have faced innumerable crises together as we raised our family. Weâve negotiated parenting four , and weâve struggled mightily with losing one of them. Problems big and small have tested our faith, yet weâve stuck together. It took commitment from both of us and the grace of God. Today we rejoice in Godâs design, spelled out in Genesis 2:24âto leave our parents, to be unified as man and wife, and to become united as one flesh. We cherish this amazing plan that has given us such a wonderful life together. Godâs design for marriage is beautiful. So we pray for married couples to sense how awesome it is to enjoy life together under the blessing of Godâs loving guidance. Lord, the first thing You organized during societyâs earliest days was marriage. Thank You for how You designed this amazing institution. Show me how to help strengthen others in their marriage relationship. Marriage thrives in a climate of love, honor, and respect. |
