Today is my parents 28th wedding anniversary. And their children , one of them being me is so thankful for that long ago day of their union. My Mother was born on an island in the Azores, the Azores are a chain of islands owned by Portugal. Her father was in the service and was stationed there at the time. During my grandparents stay in Portugal they visited a catholic church that ran an orphanage. The orphanage did not take infants but someone had left my Mother on the steps of the church so the nuns had no choice but to keep her . My grandmother during her visit to the church was presented with my Mother and begged to take her. So she did! My Mom slept her first night in a dresser drawer and the rest is pretty much history. She was brought to the US and was raised as an American. Some many miles from my mother my Father lived a simple life. His family had little money and he lived a hard life. They worked the land and drove a horse and buggy to town, the trip sometimes taking a couple days to a week. After my Dad's Father died, my dad tried to join up for the draft to Vietnam. The Lord did not make it possible for him to join due to a medical reason. He then moved to Denver ,CO where he started his own janitorial and landscaping business and met my Mother. My Mom and Dad met in church a few years later, they noticed that they had the exact same Bibles and they started up a relationship. The two married shortly after , have been married for 28 years , raised and home schooled 4 children, and are now enjoying one grandchild. God weaved an amazing path for them, God made it possible for their lives together. What can God do in your life if you just let Him?
