HADN'T THOUGHT ABOUT THAT

 I had to write this while it was still fresh.

Today is our wedding anniversary. As I was doing this morning, some might wonder, "Does my spouse REALLY love me? I've thought of EVERYTHING, and..."

God seemed to interrupt me. "No you haven't."

What?

"You've thought about your husband's past, his needs, his self-esteem, his spiritual condition, your own spiritual call, your responsibility as wife-mother-Christian, your various spiritual responsibilities...but you haven't thought about ME."

What? What was God talking about? Would I listen while He talked, I seemed to hear. Then:

Had God become so stupid now He couldn't get one man just right for one woman and bring them together? I mean, He did it when He brought animals to an ark before a worldwide flood in Gen. 7, didn't He? Didn't we believe God could do that anymore?

"You say you've thought of everything, but you really haven't, June. The next time even a feel a tinge of negativism about your condition, can't you just say, 'Gen. 7'?

Noah didn't understand/approve everything either; he just had confidence in GOD to know God knew what He was doing. And look what God did!"

Chapter 8 starts out, "GOD REMEMBERED NOAH, and every living thing". That is not a bad way to make a difference, agreed?

The rainbow in chapter 9 was like an engagement ring promising the regenerate bride we would never have to face a "Flood of Destruction". Another not ungreat way to make a difference, Noah.

And most people thought he was shut away in a dark old boat while a tempest was going on all around him, and that oceanliner didn't even have controls but floated like a jellyfish.
