Gifts from God are many, but lots of the time, they aren’t recognized. And there truly is a Holy Spirit that still speaks to us, guides us, helps us make decisions. I’m certain that little voice that kept saying “just do it” in my head when I wanted to back out of getting married at age 19 was that very Holy Spirit.
Because that guy, my husband, was truly a gift from God. He provided for me so many opportunities to grow and learn, I will always appreciate and love him and take care of him in our declining years. He was a good father, good husband, good at business, good at everything and is probably “neurodivergent” because it had to come from somewhere in this family! He’s always been ADHD with a touch of OCD, but who needs labels? He was a worker, always busy, and a builder. A builder of family, of the house, of a business, of computers, of a good life!
And love of my life! Thank you, Richard, and thank you, Holy Spirit of God, to have made me do it at such a tender age against my judgement.
