What a FUN day celebrating my sister, Debbie Calloway Rusk, as she turned the page to a new chapter titled Chapter 70.

A BIG thanks to her daughter, Jacque and her friend Darcy who did a great job of planning, organizing and making this day so special! She was shown how dearly loved she is!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY Chief Wayne Sekerke!

This past weekend, Wayne and I went to an event at the Dickie's Arena in Ft. Worth. It was an all day event with 8,000 people in attendance.

During the lunch break, us along with 7,998 other people, were all trying to make our way through the crowded hallway of this arena, when I heard Wayne say something to the couple just ahead of us. It turned out to be two long-time friends of his from his days at the FAA.

They turned around, and the biggest, most beautiful smile covered the lady's face as she saw Wayne. She then looked over at me, grabbed my hand, and said, "Liz, I've been wanting to meet you!"

You see, they knew Wayne when he and Cyndi were married and had covered him in prayers through her death. As we stood there in the middle of chaos and people at Dickie's Arena, she grabbed both of my hands and said,

"We prayed deeply for Wayne during his time of loss. We prayed for healing, for peace for him, and we prayed for love to find its way back into his life. Liz, we prayed for YOU before Wayne ever met you."

I could feel the tears stinging my eyes as this beautiful red-headed lady I had never met before, named Jen, told me she had prayed for ME.....a yet unknown face in the life of Wayne....before he ever knew there was a Liz and before I ever knew there was a Wayne.

Today is this man's birthday.....his last 365 days being in his 60's. He prays each morning at the kitchen table with his wife after reading our Jesus Calling devotional. This morning, Day 1 of Year 69....he held my hand (yes, I snapped this pic while he was praying...shame on me), looked up the scriptures using his trusty flashlight, and I see this heart form in the center of his Bible. Yep....right smack dab in the center.

It was God's way of reminding Wayne and me that marriage takes three people......not two. And it's the third person of our marriage that hears the prayers of others on our behalf......prayers like Jen and Dan Bush's.....who prayed years ago that God would put us into each other's lives.

And He did.
