One evening, as my daughter Megan Grace and I were watching Cinderella III for the gagillianth time, the movie came to a part where the King told the Red -Haired Wicked Step Sister that "Everybody deserves true love."

      Megan Grace looked back at me with her innocent 4-year-old brown eyes and asked, "Even me Daddy?"

I scooped her up in my arms with a tear in my eye and I told her, "God has chosen a very special boy for you that was born to be you husband. When you grow up and when it is God's perfect timing, He will introduce you to each other."

      She asked me, "Is that how it happened with you and Mommy?"

As I held her in my lap I replied, "Yes. I had been dating girls that were not the one God had made for me and I was tired of choosing the ones I thought I was going to marry because they were either pretty, or prettier, or prettiest of all the girls I knew. I got so mad at myself for wasting time on the wrong girls I told God that I was not going to go out with any other girl until he showed me The Girl He had made for me - I did not care if it took 2 months, 2 years, or 20 years - I was tired of doing it my way.

Thankfully, 2 weeks later God introduced me to your Mommy who was standing beside me at church one Sunday night worshipping God with her eyes closed while singing one of my favorite songs - God tapped me on the shoulder and said, 'She is the one I made for you to spend the rest of your life with'. Joy that I had not felt since I asked Jesus to live in my heart leapt inside of me like an uncaged tiger and I knew at that moment that God was right - I was going to spend the rest of my life with the girl He had made for me, who was not only beautiful on the outside, but also on the inside where it really matters. Three years later we were married and I became her husband." 

      Megan Grace asked me, "Where is the boy I will marry?"

I smiled and said, "Only God knows that, but we can pray for that boy to have parents who teach him about God and Jesus, who show him how to be very nice to girls, teach him as he is growing up to be a great husband for you, and show him how to guard his heart so he doesn't give it away until God introduces you to each other."

      Megan's little face lit up with a huge smile and she said, "Let's pray for him now Daddy." 

So we did. And we have been almost every night since.

I am dedicating this post to my beautiful brown-eyed wife who loves me even when she doesn't like me too much and gave birth to our brown-eyed Megan Grace to share these moments together.

                                                        HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Sweetness!

     I Love You
