Every Day Is Valentine's Day!

When David and I first married, we had very little money…I remember times when I was relieved that we had $17 in the bank, and that we weren’t down to zero!  But God has been our Great Provider, and we have never wanted nor lacked for anything.  

My precious husband wrote me a letter one year that is still so very dear to me.  In it, he said, “If I could bring you flowers every day, I would.  I can’t do that right now.  But I believe that if we will look to the Lord Jesus, and trust Him for our every need, He will provide for us in such miraculous, abundant ways, that we will hardly be able to believe it…I believe that God is going to allow us to minister to so many thousands of people, together, and that we are going to see many, many people give their hearts to Christ, if we will only trust Him…”

As I look back over the years, I see that David’s faithful prayer and his desire for us has been answered – abundantly, fully, completely, without fail.  Together, we have traveled to more than twenty countries to minister the Gospel; we have presented the Good News of Christ to hundreds of thousands of people.  We have seen many, many thousands of people pray to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. 

I am so grateful, so overwhelmed…when I look at my life, and see the great things God has done.  And I am so grateful, so overwhelmed, that God has allowed me to walk beside such a faithful, trustworthy, Godly, passionate, compassionate, strong, gifted, focused, responsible, smart, loving, caring, tender, awesome man…and that I get to call David Stockwell my own. 

Thank you, Lord Jesus…thank you, my beloved David, for loving me and for leading me and for being my precious, beloved husband.  I love you with all my heart, and I am amazed that you are mine!  Every day is Valentine’s Day with you in my life!

And by the way, now, David does bring me flowers every day!  Our more than forty rose bushes, pink azaleas, camellias, gardenias, all kinds of lilies, crepe myrtles, and magnolias, all lovingly tended in our yard by my husband, bear beautiful flowers all year long!
