Who
Can Find
An Excellent Woman?
I
didn’t even know what to look for in a woman when I met Kathy. Looking back at
when we were 17 years of age and had first met here is how Kathy describes our
relationship, “Eddy and I were madly in lust with each other!” It was so true!
And at 18 years of age (tomorrow we celebrate our 46th year wedding
anniversary) we were still madly in lust with each other! At 19 years of age
everything changed …
Scripture
10 Who can find an excellent woman?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband trusts her completely.
She gives him all the important things he needs.
Observation
I
didn’t even know what to look for in a woman when I met Kathy. Looking back at
when we were 17 years of age and had first met here is how Kathy describes our
relationship, “Eddy and I were madly in lust with each other!” It was so true!
And at 18 years of age (tomorrow we celebrate our 46th year wedding
anniversary) we were still madly in lust with each other!
At
19 years of age everything changed - Jesus Christ transformed our lives!
It
was then I began to realize what an excellent woman God had given me! And over
the past 46 years I have told myself at least a million times I am so glad that
God gave me Kathy and not someone else.
We
look back and we are so grateful. God’s favor has shined on us and on our
marriage. We marvel at God’s grace. We had no clue when we first got married
what a godly marriage was supposed to look like.
I have said it many times before but I will say it again, I am so glad that God brought Kathy into my life. She is the best gift that this man could have ever hoped for!
Lust has changed to godly passion. I still get excited looking at Kathy when she walks through the room. I love to hear her laughter when she is talking to a friend or one of my children on the telephone. I think that her presence changes the atmosphere of any gathering she attends.
I can say today that I love Kathy more today than ever before. I am madly in love with this very special woman!
Application
I
am and I will enjoy the wife of my youth? How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for allowing me the joy of knowing You and having a
relationship with You. Thank You for bringing Kathy Bearden into my life so
many years ago. Thank You for keeping us together as we were trying to figure
out what marriage was all about. I pray for couples that are striving to live
for You. Help them grow in their relationship with each other. Don’t let Satan
destroy them. Keep them from making stupid mistakes that wreck their marriage.
Give them a deep love for You and a deep love for each other. Bless Kathy. May
Your face shine on her. Allow her the privilege of helping other women be the
best wives that they can be to their husbands.
