Today is my 12th anniversary with Lois. We are enjoying a short trip to OKC. We didn't have a hotel booked or any activities planned but God mysteriously lead us to a wonderful new hotel in Bricktown and we got a great price and a great room that overlook the ballpark as well. We had a nice dinner with the thickest steak we've tasted and got to watch a cool flick together in the biggest theater seating in town.
Isn't God wonderful. If we didn't follow His guidance and went to Frisco, we would have missed out all these gifts and fun that God had planned for us.
Lois and I didn't trade any gifts. At this stage, material things don't mean much to us anymore. She did wrote me a wonderful letter and my heart was completely melted. It's the most precious gift that I could hope for.
Lois is the most wonderful person that I know who cares for me so much. We are so different but yet so compatible in a way that is just hard to describe. She said in her letter, "our 12 years of relationship which started from excitement, passion and then steady and then being challenged. Now is so calm and sweet." The peace that we haven't had before. I can't describe it any better.
Through out this 12 years, God had granted us "forgiveness" when we do wrong to each other, He gave us "love" when we needed it, God gave us "grace" to love each other unconditionally.
We don't have much to give, but today, we want to give our marriage to God – to honor Him and to glorify Him. We look forward to how He leads us each day and how our marriage will continue to grow and thus our love.
Having Christ in our lives really aren't boring and constrained; He helps us to put to right perspective in life and learn the value of the purpose driven life. It's awesome. Otherwise, how would I deserve such a wonderful wife as Lois.
Honey, I thank you and I love you so much. You continue to "glow" in me. Happy 12th Anniversary!
