Today is The Son-In-Law's birthday. I feel that deserves some recognition, especially since I've recognized other special occasions of those in my "near" family during this blog year.
The Son-In-Law joined our family a year and a half ago. He was found by The Girl in an unusual way but has proven yet again how beautifully the Lord provides if only we wait on Him. (We just get antsy so often and want to help the Lord when He really has it ALL in His control.)
The Son-in-Law is a jewel. He has a love of the Lord, a love of The Girl, and a love for others that is amazing. When I would pray for a "match" for The Girl, I could never see a face; however, there were always things I hoped for such as one who would love the Lord with all his heart and be a spiritual leader for The Girl in the relationship....one who would love The Girl right up there under his love for the Lord and The Son-In-Law surely does that. I prayed for one who would be able to live with diabetes, just as The Girl does. And lastly, I prayed for one who would make The Girl happy. God provided all those qualities and more in The Son-In-Law.
As for the benefits for me, I have learned the joy of wearing orange on occasion. I look pretty good in orange. I've also learned to readily speak "Tiger" language.....War Eagle!
I really don't feel like I have a son-in-law but I feel like the Lord has given me and The Husband a son--one that has blessed us beyond measure. We couldn't have picked a better one ourselves and have grown to love him dearly.
So Happy Birthday to my sweet "Son"!

Your son is definitely a "keeper"! I pray God will send my sweet daughter someone just as Godly and loving to be her husband one day :-)
