The right choice

When your young and green and ready to find a mate, you sometimes look for the wrong things. How often do we ask, how will this person's character and personality work over the long haul? Especially, when that long haul includes "for better or for worse."
I've always known what a gem I got when Barb said, "I do", but more recently that diamond like character of hers has become even more clear. The words I use to describe her, (pardon my sentimentality), would be: encouraging, unselfish, determined, giving, tender, thoughtful; in brief 'a rock'. God sure knew what he was doing when he fashioned her, and certainly knew what I needed when he allowed her to come my way.
