“God, prepare me for a good man, and prepare a good man for me…then tell me when he gets here!” This was my prayer for a very long time - years, actually! God showed out when He placed us at the same event- our high school 40 year class reunion! Although we spent 4 years at the same school, probably even shared a class or two, parked side by side in the senior parking lot, or brushed by each other more than once in the overcrowded hallways, we were never aware of the other! We ran in different circles: one in the Grissom band world, the other fully engrossed in learning the family business, following the 3pm school bell. Fast forward, we had our first date the weekend following the reunion. Barry made the 55 minute drive to pick me up at my home—old fashioned for some—traditional for us. He decided on drinks and dinner at a locally owned sports bar - Perfect Timing- because he believed everything happened in God’s “perfect timing.” Cool, huh? As the days, weeks, months rolled on, we could see a future together and couldn’t wait to bring our kids into the picture. We were not prepared for the perfect harmony and chemistry this group of young adults would instantly become! The comradery created through quick-witted humor, social connections and interactions, love of family, mutual respect, and especially a shared desire for their parent’s peace and happiness, made it clear we were on the right track! We knew we’d been gifted something very special…an answer to prayer. #58nottoolate
