A boy and a girl live in the same town.
When the boy was a freshman, he believed in God. About six years, he went to church on Sundays. He loved God very much.
The seventieth years, he came back from army and decided to join some kinds of training for two years to serve God, just as other saints’ did.
He went home to tell his parents what his thoughts were. His parents agreed his thoughts, but they deeply hoped he could have a job and get married.
On Sunday, it was a usual day in the town. He saw a girl sat in the church and worshiped God just as he did before.
He heard her voice carefully and eyed on her attitude every moment, but she didn’t know that.
After leaving church, he praised to God: he wanted to talk to her or to see her again on next Sunday.
Then, he did what he wished. The girl knew him and talked to him on Sundays, but she still sat far from him.
At that time, he sat down in the church and thought of going to training for two years to serve God. Did saints here know this?
Or what if she didn’t see him on Sundays for two years, did she miss him? He stopped those thoughts.
And at a proper time, he stood up and told saints he would go to training to serve God in ‘short time‘.
When he said those words ‘short time‘, he saw the girl’s eyes deeply. He seemed to search feelings from her eyes.
But, he only heard saints praised to God for his decision. No words or answers from her mouth even eyes. She only smiled lightly.
Was this smile her answer for his decision? Did she wish him to sever God for two years, if she did, he would be happy for that. He thought honestly.
During the first year training, he sometimes came back to town on Sundays and went to church to see her earnestly.
Every time, when he saw the girl sitting there, he felt she was so pretty and pure. He decided to keep her face, voices, smiles, or so in mind for good.
During this two years training, he praised to God to give him chances to talk to her or see her when back to town.
Most of chances, he introduced himself to saints in the church and eyed on her not on every saint. She sat far from him and listened as other saints did.
The other chance was that he and saints visited to her families. He knew she was older than him and had a job for many years between saints’ talking.
The two years training ended, saints welcomed him back. Saints were curious about what he would do for this church.
But he had a desire to let the girl sat by him in the church, not sat far from him.
He seldom thought about he had to do something for this church.
So, first step, he told his parents he would get marry in the future; the second step, he praised to God a wish: He wanted to marry the girl he liked.
The third step, he told some saints who cared about his emotion life that he liked the girl and wanted her to be his wife.
Did the boy’s parents agree the girl to be their son’s wife? Did God allow the boy to marry the girl? Did some saints’ praise come true?
