A Courtin' We Will Go...

"Courtship is a season for two people to grow in friendship, to get to know each other's character, and to see how they interact as a couple."  Joshua Harris

On the night Eugene asked Sara Rose if he could court her...and she accepted;  her Dad gathered the family to pray with them.  Two people with the love, support, prayers of two families. 

Is this a pre-engagement? No.  No big announcement....although word is spreading!  We want people to know so they can  pray for this couple who are both seeking God's will.

Is it a pre-arranged situation? 

 Two sets of parents picking and deciding God's will?  I mean, "courtship" sounds so old-fashioned....No.  Although we do like Eugene a lot.....we did not do a search....

These two young people have decided to build on a friendship.  Two young people wanting to see if they will be able to benefit the other, not building a relationship on selfish needs and desires.

This week our Sara Rose gets to spend about a week with Eugene and his family before his next semester of college begins.  They are so excited!  I am really looking forward to hearing all about the trip!

Yep...here it comes...a RECIPE!  One of Eugene's favorite snacks....
