Yeah I firmly believe these scriptures, and my favourite love story is Abraham sends out his servantvto find a bride for Isaac. God was involved totally. What I don’t understand is I am still waiting on my Rebecca. Any thoughts?

You need to ask Rebecca out, on a real life date.

Actually, the word nein means 'no'. I was born of American parents while my dad was stationed in Germany while in the USAF. Banana bread is a good thing.

The threads, where we list what we will accept or not accept in a potential lover, is cute and fun; but I believe it could be more constructive, to see what you think you could offer a potential mate.

I don't believe God brings anyone a spouse. I don't believe in soul mates. I believe we have to go on our own to meet someone, and make the decision to marry them. I believe the time between meeting someone and marriage, is the time you date, and sell yourself to them......To give reasons why this person should choose you.

This could be fun, or it could be a difficult exercise that reveals how we value ourselves. Some members here might spot great things about you, that you never realized about yourself. They could also disagree with your assessment of yourself. Members here read what you write, they remember it, and analyze it. I know, because it's what I find myself doing.

I got this idea this morning, reading repies to another thread called: I wouldn't marry....
I used the thread just to lay down some jokes, I don't really think I answered the question. I don't think I can. I saw some people post entire list of either characteristics or vices, they wouldn't accept in a mate. That is fine to know what you want in someone, but I don't know that I could make demands for a particular kind of person. This led me to think, if I had high standards for a bride, what could I offer them in return?



I guess now I have to start this.




Besides being the world's sexiest man (Aaron Rodgers not included, he's dreamy) I can fix most things broken.

I can repair your car. Not just simple repairs, I spent several years as a mechanic, and I can tell you why your engine light is on. I can repair the reason it is on. I will keep up with your vehicles service, my darlin will not be broke down on the side of the road. Even my ex wife misses this about me.

I come with a large assortment of tools.

I will keep the house up. I can drive a #16 with two hits of my California framer. I can paint, lay tile, hang a door on the hinges, glaze window panes in, plumbing, most electrical, install appliances, and drywall.

I can cook meat, and I'm a grill master.

I can split firewood with an axe.

I'm somewhat literate.

I haven't piloted an aircraft in years, but if the pilot has a heart attack, we should be fine.

I grew up sailing.

I can do some gun smithing. I've built a few of my own weapons, and I'm damned good with them.

I'm sure this list is far from what all I can do for a woman, but it really is just gravy for the potatoes.

I don't lie. I'd like to, but I'm no good at it. My deception would be discovered before I could utter the words. I always lose at poker. If it's strip poker, I don't mind too much. Don't ask me if your clothes make you look fat, if you don't want the truth.
If I love you, I will love you. I won't leave or cheat. I will carry my end of the vows. On the macro level, I will be happy with you, although I can't make you happy, it's not really my job. It's your burden to be happy with me. If the grass is a bit dry and dying on my side, I assume it's the same on the other. I don't like dead grass, and will call chemlawn if I have to.
I will accept your advice and counsel, but I will lead you in worship of our Lord.

I was born in the military hospital in Landstuhl and lived in Enkenbach for 9 months until my dad's enlistment was over before going to Detroit, Michigan. I don't remember anything at all about Europe or Germany.

I have been there a few times. The last time was in 2014 riding on a Greyhound bus and sitting in the terminal for an hour on my way to Lansing, Michigan to visit my daughter and grandchildren. I enjoyed your posts today but I have to leave now for the night as I have an early start to my workday tomorrow. God Bless You.

When I visited my aunt in hosp yesterday, her Dr was a bit flirty with me,
so I guess I still got it. Didn’t tell him I’m old enough to be his mother!
Is it me or are Drs getting younger!

Me trying to be serious....

I can't offer anything. All that I have and all that I am I have given to God to do with as he pleases. All the good I get is from the Lord. If a future spouse can live with that, we are good.
