He asked God and was granted a beautiful young wife named Linda. An angel sent from heaven as he always believed and told her she was. She was kind, she was beautiful inside and out. His father, who happened to meet her when they first had met, knew right then and there that she would be his wife and blessed them with his approval and love. Her parents and her siblings were the best of the in-law's anyone can wish for. Her dad, Joseph, was a gentleman, a tall, handsome, and generous man. He was a man Rock always wished he could be like. Her mother, Delores, an angel herself, she was a beautiful, kind, and generous woman who was the talk of the neighborhood for her honesty, generosity, and love she bestowed upon others. She cooked and fed everyone who came to her house. She was a giver, a devoted wife, and a caring mom with an ever-ready smile. She was a mother we all desire for and a mother-in-law to die for. They were so respectful of her children and their wishes that they never once interfered, criticized, or disapproved of their lives.

He prayed and asked God for His blessing before asking her parents for her hand. They gave them their blessings. They got married with them present. They were in love as two love birds in a tree. They moved and lived happily in their new house in Florida, a paradise where he always wanted to live his life. He bought her a house on the most sought-after beaches in one of the most beautiful places on the earth. He always believed and repeatedly told everyone that if God needed home on the earth, it would be where He had made it possible for them to live. It was a piece of heaven on earth. The house was exactly what they had wished for and the location they desired for as there were no others like it no matter wherever they had looked, and they had looked long and hard. Another God’s blessing in disguise. It was to become an exceedingly prospers home where friends and family came and stayed, and where they were well cared for. Every special holiday, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, and alike were celebrated, and dinners were prepared and shared. No one ever left without accompanied food. They were generous to the neighbors, friends, and strangers alike. They were loved by their friends and neighbors and even strangers who, at times, came by the house.

She was the talk of the town. His father and mother spoke so highly of their bride there and back in their ancient land that everyone knew of her and her beauty and her kindness before they knew her name. It was the God arranged holy matrimony of heavenly stature. He thanked God everyday for such wife and the life He had bestowed upon him.

They lived and grew together in the same house for nearly thirty years, never sleeping apart or going places without each other. They were known to their friend as one and were never too far apart from one another. If you saw one, you were bound to see the other within a short distance of each other. They loved and trusted one another. They never fought, or a foul word was ever exchanged between them. It was one sweet name after another. He was beside himself for God’s blessing of such a wife and such a life and Thanked God for it every day.

Their union was so strong that there was never a hint of dissatisfaction or dislikes for one and the other. Their marriage was so assured as the sun in the sky.

He was so thankful for his good fortune and accredited it all to God and His love for him. He didn’t know why he was so watched over by God except that he believed that it was his job to be righteous and care for God’s children and never to judge them instead to help them and to shun evil at all costs.

But only God knew what He had in mind for him and at His chosen time and His chosen place to bestow upon him the honor to be. It was to be 2000 years later, He spoke again to help save his strayed children yet again.
