Genetics

One day a long time ago (well, okay, not that long ago, but over half my life ago) this man, who was a boy

met this lady, who was a girl.  And their teenage "love" grew and grew. 

They were totally different in pretty much all aspects of life. She was quiet, nerdy, liked blending into the wallpaper and bordered on perfectionism.  He was loud, kind of obnoxious (only sometimes), loved having all attention on him, and didn't care about being perfect, just did the minimum to get by.  The odds were stacked against them and all bets were placed on when they would call it quits.

But, God, in His infinite wisdom had different plans for them.  From before they were born He had planned that they would one day be husband and wife.  He knew that the boy would pull the girl out of her shell and give her some confidence and that the girl would reign in the boy and encourage him to use his energy to serve and bring glory to God.

So as the poem goes-

First comes love

Then comes marriage

Then comes the baby in the baby carriage

And along came the first.....

Wait!!!  What?!?!?!  Blond hair, blue eyes???

Where did that come from??

When boy and girl were dating and during their first years of marriage they would often laugh together saying, "Watch our first child have blond hair and blue eyes."  Well, the joke was on them as the Lord saw fit to give them just that.

After a year, boy and girl, decide to have another child.  They dropped all preconceived notions that they would have a child with brown, thick, wavy hair and brown eyes since their first one seemingly defied all genetic odds.

And they got just that,

As baby boy grew so did his hair.  It went from baby fine to curly fine to thick and wavy.

So, moral of the story, don't assume that you know what life is going to hand you.  God is in control and He knows exactly what He is doing.  He will carry you through and give you sweet little surprises along the way.
