CDM - What a blessing!

I almost forgot that I had set a goal to blog every day during 2013 already.  I am blogging late on day 2 of the new year!  My desire is to create a blog entry each day this year about the many ways I have been blessed.  In other words, I am going to be "counting my blessings" each day this year.  

Today, I would like to talk about an amazing person.  This person has definately been a blessing to me in so many ways.  It was one afternoon long ago that I decided that this guy that I had become acquainted with through mutual friends would be a great guy for my roommate to get to know better.  I don't exactly remember how I managed to gather up the courage to talk to this guy, but I did.  I vaguely remember talking with him while in the cafeteria one evening while eating supper at Anderson College (now Anderson University).  It was at the very end of the spring semester in 1985 and we were all looking forward to the end of the sememster and graduation.  Like I said, I don't exactly remember how the conversation with this guy got started, but I told him that I had a really great friend that I would like for him to meet.  His response to me is the main part that I remember (because he has retold his response to me to others many times over the years since then!)  He said, "I think you need to quit thinking about the guy (left out that name - bad memories) that you like and like me instead."  He totally took me be surprise.  And.... believe it or not, he has been taking me by surprise again and again over the last 27 or so years since.  That wonderful guy's name is Cecil Dan Marett.  And yes, he is my husband for the last 25 years.  WOW!  What a blessing he has been to me and continues to be to me each day.  He is my best friend in the whole world.  He has seen me at my very worst and he still loves me.  

There is much more to the story that I told above that I will probably end up sharing more of it in detail as we go along through the year.  I am so thankful for my dear husband Cecil and he has most definately been a blessing to me.
