It brings back warm feelings and memories to see your names once more. This place was such a big part of my life back then and it seemed like family. May God bless you and yours.

LES!!!!!!!!!!!! It has been so long. That is wonderful news!! Congratulations to you and Melissa. May GOD continue to bless you both all of your days. I could not be more happy for the two of you, and for the boys! How glorious is our GOD! WE give him our ashes and HE give us beauty.
For as long as I have known you, you have been a continual reminder to me that GOD is LOVE.
When you lost Wendy, I could not imagine being in your shoes, and the witness that you were to all of us as your dealt with such a seemly untimely loss filled with love, and peace and trust and hope and faith was truly a witness of Christ. I too believe that GOD brought you and Melissa together and I pray that your lives together will also be a witness of Christ and HIS glorious love.
PEACE be with you always brother! God Bless and Keep you and yours. ![[hug]](graemlins/hug.gif)
PS: Hello to you all! How wonderful to come here and see Les, and John, and Rod, and YOU Laurie all in the same thread! Was like all home week. ![[Smile]](smile.gif) to you all..

I am so blessed to hear of how God hass been working in your life. I hope your boys are as happy about this upcoming marriage as you andd Melissa are.
I am praying God will continue to bless your family.

Dear Forever His, what a journey, eh? What Satan meant for bad, the LORD was able to turn into good and even better, than any human had even thought could happen:
Job 28:7
There is a path which no fowl knows, and which the vulture's eye has not seen.
1 Corinthians 2:9
As it is written, Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them who love Him.
With love, went the journey from Wendy through Nathan and Eric and Les to Melissa who said YES@@@@@ (nowadays we say YES@@@@, LES, instead of YES!!!!, LES).

Thank you for your kind words IAAFOTL
God is indeed good and has blessed me with the greatest treasure one could have on this earth. I never dreamed that someone as special as Melissa would ever look twice in my direction. She is the most Godly and virtous woman that I have ever had the priveledge of meeting. I am still almost in disbelief that this is all true... I still have to pinch myself from time to time ![[Wink]](wink.gif) ![[hyper]](graemlins/hyper.gif) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif) ![[clap2]](graemlins/clap2.gif)
I am so grateful for what God has done in bringing Melissa into my life. My boys and I are truly blessed. May His blessings burst forth and touch you and yours...

God is good! Praise the Lord. I am so happy for both of you and wish I was here to follow your journey.
There is nothing more blessed in a marriage than a spouse who loves the Lord as much as you do!
May your future hold many testimonies of your ministry together as servants of the Lord, reaching the lost for Christ!

Good to see an old name on the board,

others not at all.

Thank you for your kindness Eden. While I have not posted here I have read several threads and do drop in from time to time. Perhaps I will return here now that my life is getting back to normal again.
God Bless you

Amen, brother Forever His, a great story of how the devil can mean something for bad, but the LORD will turn it to good...no, to better, like Job, for those who love Him.
Great news, she said yes!!!
With Christian love,
Eden

For those of you who remember me it has been a couple of years since I have been active here. My wife Wendy passed away Dec 21st 2004 leaving myself Nathan and Eric to face life's journey alone. Many here followed our journey through that valley on a thread called " I thought you should know".
That summer I met Melissa and we have been talking and following God's leading ever since. It has become very clear to each of us that only God could have put two people together who are so much on the same page and have the same values in life. Here is the initial post on a recent thread that I started on the christian site where I met her...
Well... it's official. God has been working behind the sceenes to restore the years that the locust's have devoured. I never dreamed that I would meet someone as special as Melissa [starrynights] We have spent much time talking, planning and falling in love. She has truly become the one that I cannot live without... last week on bended knee she said yes as I asked her to be my wife.
Melissa you are " so much more" than I ever dreamed that I would find and more than I ever thought possible. You are so special. The more time we spend together the more treasure that I see in your heart and the more I realize that only God could have put us together. You have raised the bar so much higher than I ever would have thought possible... I admire... and adore you. God has made me a better person for putting you in my life.... the thought that you are in love with me fills my heart with happiness and joy... and gratefulness that God has brought us together. You are truly the one I love. I long for the day we begin our lives together... you are my dream partner... and SO MUCH MORE .... So much more... I cannot begin to find words to express that enough. God is so good. I never thought that love could be this good...
I love you sweetie
Les
