Praise the Lord, for He has shown favor on us! Tonight we asked a preacher from a nearby town to come over for supper. Jane and I have been busy in the house most of the day, and in the early evening, Sam and I went down to the dairy barn to get the cows milked before the company arrived.
Jane made stuffed boned chicken, a pork loin, mashed potatoes, fresh steamed vegitables, irish soda bread, cherry pie, and cheese cake tarts garnished with strawberries. It was a wonderful meal. The discussion was nice between all of us. Dale and Jane both kept up a good portion of the conversation which was pleasant. Half way through the meal, our wedding was brought up, Sam and I were polite in talking about it, and then we admited that we didn't have an officiant yet, and we'd been searching since a week after the engagement. The preacher looked at us and asked "is that a question?" By the end of the meal, he had heard our individual testimonies, made sure we were both baptized and full believers, and said he would be delighted.
For the past four months, it has been "and this too shall pass," and to everyone else looking at the situation it was "there, but for the grace of God, go I."
It has been a wonderful day. Our preacher is booked, and all is at peace.
