In just over two weeks, our second daughter, Lydia is going to be married. James Summers is a really great young man. Some of the qualities that I treasure about him are his committment to God, his obvious and deep love for Lydia, his committment to work, and to the calling that God has placed on his life. James has a great respect for other people. He is kind and compassionate as well.
It has been an interesting process for me. Elizabeth married Nathaniel nearly two years ago. He has been a blessing to our family, and truly does seem to complete Elizabeth.
The same is true for James and Lydia. They just fit... God has blessed our girls with special people who really have brought out the best in them.
How does that happen? I am not positive that I know everything about the process, but I do know that one ingredient in the process has been prayer. Pam and I have prayed for many years that God would bring special people into their lives all along the way. Pam has been better about praying for the mates of our kids ( if that was meant to be). Our prayer has been simple. "God bring people to them who love you and will love them."
That is all that I have asked of Nathaniel and James... that they love God and love our girls. I will ask the same of anyone who gets serious with Abigail, and Joel. It is not too much to ask, and it certainly is not too much to pray for.
