Webster's dictionary defines a gentleman as : "a man whose conduct conforms to a high standard of propriety or correct behavior."
Tonight I went to FOCUS Church at Second Street Live, and I saw a man, yes, a man, not a boy, that I've been friends with for a few years now, but we had kinda lost touch over the last few months. He walked in during worship and sat down right beside me, but it took me a few minutes to realize who it was.
When I saw him, I was ecstatic. I may or may not have given him a really big hug, several times throughout the night. I realized just how much I had missed him over the last few months. He is a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. He's old-fashioned. He wears bow ties, but he also works on his '65 Mustang and loves being outdoors hiking. He loves Sinatra and The Beatles. He has the purest intentions when it comes to women. He treats a woman like a lady. He loves his mom and sister more than anything. He's respectful. He planned my surprise party and it was perfect.
We talked for a long time after service, and caught up. Turns out he missed me too. After I got home, I started thinking about Andy Stanley's messages that I've been listening to on Love, Sex, and Dating. His main thing that's been sticking with me is becoming the person that the person you are looking for is looking for. Therefore, if I'm looking for a gentleman, then I need to be a lady in every sense of the word. One day I can have a man like Will, because men like that want ladies.
More on Will later.
P.S. We are having lunch very soon. His treat.
Wow! He sounds as good as the second coming of Christ! lol!
