So, there I was, sweating like I’ve never sweated before. I put on so much deodorant I could barely put my arms down.
Why am I so nervous? I asked myself. It’s not like I’ve never been on a first date with a woman before. Well, you have, I told myself, but only once before and that was 43 years ago! More deodorant, please!
Finally, I prayed for peace. And for God’s guidance in what He had in store for my life.
As I pulled into the parking lot of the café where we were to meet, I saw Becca had already arrived. I got out of my car and as I walked toward her, it happened. . .
I heard a voice say, “Here she is, Terry. I have prepared her for you. Take care of her, love her, and cherish her.”
It was then that I realized Becca was who I had been praying for.
As I met her in the middle of the parking lot, I reached out and hugged her so hard she gasped, “Don’t break me!” I released her and we smiled at each other. And then she gave me the gift she held, a small candle.
I was overcome with emotion, knowing this was the beginning of something so very special.
We went inside and sat at a table with our food. And we talked. And it was so comfortable we lost track of time and actually missed most of the concert we had intended to listen to together.
But Wow! What a first date!
IYKYK – If you know, you know.
And I definitely knew. . . this was something special!
