Six years of fighting, struggling, questioning,
then finally resting, trusting that He really does know best
and it will all be for good.
Suddenly, a letter arrives,
with a picture of a guy,
hugging a tree,
literally.
I had picked out his name many moons ago,
for "when" not "if" ...
it seemed too good to be true,
that this guy would be picked, chosen, if you will,
by the One who knew what was best,
and indeed it was a much better choice
than the one made which caused a great deal of heartache and distress
for ten long years.
Joy overflowed from everyone who joined us in celebrating our union
and new life together,
a humble affair, but so rich in love,
and what makes for a "happily ever after" ending.
