A Special Anniversary Present

Many have already seen this via Facebook, but I wanted to post it here just to archive the picture and the memory.  Wednesday, June 18th was for Christy and me our 20th wedding anniversary.  We have been reading together the book Joni and Ken: An Untold Love Story. In the first chapter of the book, it mentions an Italian restaurant in Agoura Hills called Grissini’s.  Christy and I thought it would make for an adventure to locate and dine at that restaurant for our anniversary.  After being seated, I heard some of the staff say, “Joni and Ken are coming.”  Sure enough, Joni Eareckson Tada and her husband Ken were seated two tables from us.  We approached them to tell the story of how it was that we were at this restaurant at this moment (the mention of it in the book). They were thrilled to hear our story and recognized the God moment, as they had not been there in the past three months.  Joni said something to the effect of God’s blessing being evident on our marriage.  I could not agree more.  It was a special anniversary gift from our Heavenly Father.  (The gentleman in the middle is Giuseppe, the owner of Grissini’s.  His food and hospitality were exceptional.)
