Two Hearts Come Together

Billy and Debbie are no strangers to one another. Their families have been great friends for more than a decade while attending the same church. Soon after Debbie and her family began attending the church, she experienced the hardship of losing her husband to cancer and while raising her family alone she remained faithful to the Lord and leaned on him as her relationship with Him continued to be a strength for her. Debbie stood out to so many as a strong Christian widow and was well known in many circles for her humble heart and willingness to hold onto her values and integrity before God even in her darkest of times.

After forty-four years of marriage, Billy lost his wife Sue due to the pandemic, leaving him broken and in unfamiliar waters. The friendship of the families drew Debbie as she began praying for them all to heal. After a few years of losing Sue, Billy noticed Debbie in a new light. She would catch him glancing her way and sitting with her at the same table during potlucks at church. Billy noticed the light in her eye and took the courage to write Debbie a special poem and at the end of the poem he asked her out on a date. He offered her to come to him with any questions and she absolutely did.

It didn’t take very many dates to realize that they had so much in common and their hearts began to bond. Like two dates. By the third date the romance had begun, and marriage was on the horizon. With excitement and nervousness, two hearts were coming together. Either of them could have ever planned such a romantic adventure, however God did.

Now what was two lonely hearts yearning for friendship and companionship God put his stamp of approval on them and is calling them to be one. The journey would end without Debbie even realizing it all these years later. For Billy, having a good woman by his side and finding her is a blessing that he will treasure for years to come.

Their love for their families makes this such an easy transition because we are all family in the Lord. The love that everyone shared even before losing their spouses makes this a special touch from Heaven.

As we wait for our special day, we are filled with love and excitement for each other and pray that our time together will be filled with honor and glory for the Lord and we will be not have to be apart anymore.
