I heard Gary singing a little chant to himself this afternoon, and it went like this: "You can date my daughter if I can ride your motorcycle." I listened to him for a minute, then it hit me what he was talking about. Our oldest daughter met up with an old guy friend (not ever a boyfriend) last night at a bookstore. He just wanted to see her, and share that he was breaking up with his girlfriend last night after their visit. And he did.
So.
Gary said after singing his little tune that it was inevitable for the two of them to get together. This young man has a motorcycle, yes, and my husband tells me we need to pray about this. I actually got excited about the possibilities. Something to think about, however, is that he's divorced. He would admit that it's something that hurts him to remember. We've always been hardliners about our children not marrying those who've been married before. And I know I'm jumping the gun. Is it an issue? I just don't know if I can draw a line about that anymore. Sometimes I just want to pray about stuff and let the Lord clean up the rubble (a good practice, yes?). There's forgiveness for everything, I realize. If I get puffed up about this, I'm just being that. Puffed up. Thoughts? He's a strong Christian, and is really seeking the Lord. Can't knock that, can you?
This ought to be fun to watch. As I said, I'm excited. The Lord will have to do some work in hearts, but the preliminary work is maybe already in place.
Prayer please. :)
