The unseen cord...

It was a routine service at my church. I was a young man looking for some significant other in my life. Saw a girl who seemed new at church, kept watching her. This distracted me from worship one Sunday morning.

I made it a point to follow her after the service was over. She was patiently waiting at the subscription desk in the Church office. I had no business there, but I went and stood there.

With great difficulty, I tried to start a conversation with her. She seemed reluctant to answer my queries. But I persisted, and we had a conversation of sorts. She had refused my offers of tea or coffee and so we talked over some fresh lemonade.

She appeared to be interested in what I was doing then and asked me intelligent questions. I went overboard explaining intricate details of my work. In hindsight, I wondered if she was really interested? When I asked her recently about that first Sunday, she told me she was merely being polite!

That began our relationship, which blossomed into marriage one day. It is now 35 years that we are together! Only God has kept us together, being the unseen cord of the three corded braid!
