After church, Jacob and I went for a ride and a picnic in the cow field near his house. While I was busy enjoying the sunshine and the scenery, Mister Jacob had a plan… We parked under the persimmon tree his grandpa used to take him to, and we were collecting ripe persimmons (which are delicious by the way). A few moments later, Jacob came around the side of the Gator I was sitting on and knelt down. That moment was beyond perfect for both of us because we knew our lives would never be the same. We made a commitment to each other to love and respect one another, to always be patient and kind, and to encourage each other in any circumstance. I am so thankful to have such a loving and thoughtful partner to share life with. **A very special thank you to all the people who have prayed for us both over the years. God’s plan is always good!
