Hello, Nick! We love to hear those stories, too! We were happy to share our story with you. He truly brought us together, then we slowly began to fall in love, and the rest is history. It's the only time I (Mike) distinctly heard God's voice in my head. Thanks for watching! Have a wonderful Sunday and God bless!
Hi, Esther! Thanks for watching! We do our best to be content through all that we are going through. Not as content as the Apostle Paul, but we do try. We started off as best friends, and we still are. We have been through a lot together. Hope you have a wonderful day and God bless!
@@esteeb42 Thanks for sharing, and I am sorry to hear that. You are very sweet! We still have 8 years till we can catch up with you. Take care and God bless!
Awww what a sweet story! God has incredible ways of bringing people together who He knows are meant for each other. God bless you both for many more years 🎉
Hi, Rachel! Thanks for watching the story of how we met! Oh, He doesn’t make mistakes! He was getting us ready for one another before we met, which we found out how later. Thank you for blessing us in countless ways! Have a great weekend and God bless!
Thank you, Rachel! I’m so sorry for my late reply! I always seem to get or read the comments a few days later. Better late than never.😊 Thank you so much for watching, and for sweetly commenting! Sending you a Big hug and love!❤
Hi, To Reap What You Sow! Thanks for watching! Glad you loved it! It was fun to do. Having God tell us that we were to be the other's wife/husband was when we first saw one another. It's amazing how God works out everything to make that a reality. Take care and God bless!
Thank you for sharing ! I am always interested in how couples got together. Funny how the couples who stay together seem to be the ones who did not like each other much at first meeting.
@@summerrain7466 Thanks for watching! We also love hearing other couple’s stories! Well, in our case it seems like, since God brought us together, He is keeping us together. We also notice that couples that are opposites of one another, also stay together. We hope you have a wonderful weekend and God bless!
This was fun to watch-poor Mike! 😂🤣🤣 I can see how you two compliment each other, and also how Valentine got her name! It's always interesting to hear the backstory of people that have been married a while. Blessings.
Hi, Dave! Glad you enjoyed it! We are fairly opposite in personalities, but that makes it interesting. Valentine actually got her name from a character named Valentine in Ender’s Game. We also enjoy asking older couples how they met. Some stories are very fascinating! Have a blessed day!
@@forhisnamessake Yes I noticed the opposite thing-that's fairly common I would say. Oh ok Ender's Game! I don't remember the book much though I have read it.
Oh, my goodness! I ENJOYED this SO much! What a blessing it was to get to hear this story! Thank you so very much for sharing, and may God give you all many more years together!! P.S. I think you all are just a few years younger than my husband and I. We have been married for 36 years and were married in 1988.🙏❤😊
Hi, Cheryl! Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! We enjoyed talking about how me met. God definitely brought us together for a reason. About the PS, we were married in 1992 and this year was 32 years. Y’all are 4 years ahead of us. Have a wonderful week and God bless!
Hello dear sister and friend!❤ I am happy that you really enjoyed watching this! That’s wonderful that you are just a few years ahead if Mike and I in marriage! I think I recall Valentine sharing that you are just a few years younger or older than me. Thank you for watching and for your sweet comments. Sending you a Big hug and much love!❤ May God bless you sweet one!
Beautiful story!! A Godly match! When God brings you together, nothing can separate you!! I sent you an email the other day. I hope you received it. Bless you!!
Hi, Wisdom, nuggets and tidbits! Thanks for watching! Amen, God did literally bring us together. Oh! We got your email. We haven't forgotten about you! 😀Plan on replying tomorrow, as we don't have anything planned going on. Hope you are doing well! God bless!
Hi, Annamaria! Thanks for watching our story of how we met. We enjoyed doing this one. Had lots of fun, and glad you enjoyed it. Hope you have a great weekend and God bless!
Lovely to hear how you came together. You are well matched, and Valentine is blessed to have such good parents. I hope you still write poetry. I do a little of that myself.
Hi, Anselman! Thanks for watching! It’s great that you write poetry! What kind do you write? Is it a hobby or would you like to publish it? I wrote in free verse. It was a great way for me to put feelings into words. Sorry to say, I don’t write poetry anymore. That urge to write poetry became a catylist for writing biblical essays and teaching the Bible in church. Have a wonderful weekend and God bless!
@@forhisnamessake I have been told I ought to publish a book, so I may eventually get round to it. In the meantime, I share a lot on my YT channel. It's a mix of nature poetry, reflections, meditations and prayers. I have done playlists, "Reflections" and "Poems for Our Lord". I have had some enjoyable times teaching Bible, too. A lot of my readings on my channel are teachings and sermons by Christian theologians.
"For his name sake," let your loves, strengthened your living in God's. When a true man, that loves his wife, this world stays, and when the true wife, love her man, this world came to've life. When now, had seen that they love their own children; "God will provide," even though, they are now living on trails in this world, on earth. Amen. ❤. God bless, and always be safe!!!!! . Amen. ❤.
Hi, e j! Thanks for watching! That is a very good question, and for us something that we are learning how to deal with. Also to add to that is the family’s stresses and ways to deal with it. We’ll definitely put this topic on our to-do list! Thanks so much! Have a wonderful weekend and God bless!
Hi, Melanie! You are very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching. We enjoyed telling how we met. Hope you have a wonderful weekend and God bless!
Wonderful story...i mean both of you meet lead by God...i pray a man who i have been praying for to be my husband he has same sound from heaven tell him that i am his wife...please hear my pray Jesus..Amen . Pray for Both of you HAVE A LONG..LONG.. WONDERFUL JOURNEY IN JESUS AS A COUPLE..AMEN..Thank you for sharing
Hi, Sweety! Thanks for watching! I mean it does sound crazy, but that is what happened. God basically predestined us to get married. What you are praying for is confirmation for him. I pray that He would confirm it between both of you independent of one another. Amen! Thank you for praying for us to have many years together. Amen to that too! We hope you have a wonderful weekend and God bless!
God is one who give someone, as a gift to love and be loved. As the lover met Thy own lover in a surprise way! They join together to be the lifetime lover; and have been fixed by God in his great love, and on his super perfect Grace. Love comes by its own, that some live and've life living with their own loved. Some regrets, is just because of the lover have betrayed them, and few found out that they have suside themselves that they have their love, like remeo and Juliet, Leila and maujhno. So, that's why, love is the gifts that has given by God to the people living on this earth. Do not want too, much love, thee may regrets; but let it come by its own way, that thee'll not needed to regret. Amen. God bless, to you lover, and to your daughters that you've created on this earth. Amen. ❤......... . Its cool. ❤.
Hi, Khrawbok! Thanks for watching how we met! Right, God was our matchmaker, and He doesn’t make mistakes. Love comes over time, but has to be maintained. Take care and God bless!
@@forhisnamessakeMy dear. I moved.I am single but the first after I placed my table was to put family photo of last year on. Yes. The ex husband is on that photo too. I want to continue to set a standard for my children and grandchildren.Living in the now. You could get your photos and start saving it on some device or Google photos or whatever is suitably to you. God bless you.
@@user-oo8ei4lj6s hello, e j! Thank for watching and for the heartfelt comment! I (Mike) have not experienced what a divorce does to a family, but I have seen it. I really applaud you for putting the photo of the ‘whole’ family on the table. Saving old photos on our devices is a great idea for preserving them. Thanks for the advice! You and your family please take care and God bless!
Emme, thanks for watching! Both of our father's have passed away, so only our mother's are left. Well, that was the goal when we married. I (Mike) was actively farming when we got married, but certain circumstances caused me to have to get out of farming shortly afterwards. Thanks for asking! If you don't mind, can you tell us a bit about yourself? Have a great day!
@@forhisnamessakei am a senior, never married living in north Idaho. I was raised Catholic & now evangelical Christian- always believed in Jesus, God Almighty & Holy Spirit though. I was saved at the age of 11. My joy is my great niece & great nephew who i moved here to help take care of! My dad grew up on a farm in North Dakota & we went back every summer- i love farm life but have always lived in the city. God bless you!✝️🇮🇱🙏🌺🌸😊
@@forhisnamessakemy parents passed years ago. I miss them everyday.✝️🌺😊 Also, since i never had the blessing of marriage, i love to hear how people meet- its always interesting. Lastly, i like to comment on your channel because we are supposed to lift each other up, as Christians. I know people in hard places such as you are in now & i feel it is very important to pray for people!🌸😊
Northern Idaho is pretty country! We drove through there on a summer vacation several years ago. Catholic to Evangelical is a pretty big difference, but amazing that you believed the way you did. Do y’all still have the farm in North Dakota? You are like Martina, who is a city mouse.
Even though it’s been awhile, sorry about your parents passing away. I’m glad we could help cheer you up a little with our story! We really appreciate your comments, blessings, and prayers! Thank you so much, it’s very sweet of you! This channel was created to be an encouragement to Christians. Welcome to the family!
Hi, Janet! Thanks for watching and being concerned about us. We live in Texas, so no hurricanes, but for those who live in the SE US, that’s another story. Hope you are well and God bless!
Wow! That’s wonderful! Sorry for the loss of your husband. We have about 26 more years before we can catch up with you. If I may ask, how did you guys meet? You don’t have to answer publicly if you don’t want to. Blessings!
God bless! I love hearing how the Lord writes the love stories of those who love Him. 😇
