When Rob and I met online<\/a>, then in person, we gradually fell in love and became engaged. We may have been getting on in years, but love is still the same and we were determined not to give in to temptation and live together before we were married.<\/p>\n

So, we prayed and asked God to keep us safe while we were courting.<\/p>\n

We lived 25 miles apart so I had quite a drive each time I went to see Rob.<\/p>\n

A few months later I was visiting Rob in his home, we had been watching something on television when I looked at my watch and said \u201cI really should drive home now, it is getting late\u201d. He started kissing me \u2018goodnight\u2019 and we were really \u00a0enjoying a good cuddle when suddenly \u00a0we were startled by my mobile phone going \u2018beep beep\u2019, signifying an incoming text message.<\/p>\n

I read it out to Rob as it was from a friend of his, a young man with learning difficulties. It simply said \u201cJesus is watching you\u201d. We fell off that sofa, not knowing whether to laugh or be afraid as the cuddling was certainly getting fierier by the minute!!<\/p>\n

The next day Rob rang to say he had asked his friend why he had sent the text. His friend seemed puzzled and confused, he replied \u201cI don\u2019t know, it just suddenly popped into my head to send my friend Rob\u2019s lady friend a nice message, was she cross?\u201d Rob assured him we were not annoyed with him at all.<\/p>\n
