God Appointments

Before I continue with the stories, I need to tell you that I have missed Billy terribly today. I see him everywhere and I remember everything that we did on 2007 and 2008. Maybe 9/11 had something to do with it. I know alot of people are grieving today. Losing someone you love is always difficult even though you know you will see them in heaven. Thank you for listening to my pain.

The God appointments began when I met Carol and Gene Antill. They were so kind to me. They spent time with me, talked to me about my situation and eventually told me about their faith in God the the church that had changed their lives. While this was comforting, I drove home and didn't give a thought to following through with them or their church. I had me to worry about. Billy and I got together to talk about the divorce. We needed to agree about the finances. After fighting for a half hour or so, I told him what a horrible person he was and he countered with all my character flaws. I had an idea in the middle of this argument. " Billy, let's go to church tonight to get better at talking. He immediately said, "OK". Look at the logic here. These two sentences don't go together. I called Carol and she directed me to the time and location of the service. When we walked in the back door, Carol was looking for us. We sat there in amazement. I had never experienced such joy or peace. The atmosphere was full of the presence of God. After the service, we drove home in silence. I don't remember who said it first, but we both said that we wanted to give our marriage to God and work this out. Remember, I told you that we had been married for 5 years,well, for the next 35 years we worked hard on this marriage. We had two more beautiful children and 8 grandchildren. All of our children married into families where
there is no divorce. I believe we have been given a family blessing of not just good, but great marriages because we were willing to say "yes to God in an impossible situation.
