Thankful Thursday - Anniversary


Today is my 9th Wedding Anniversary, and I want to say how very thankful I am that God has blessed me with a most precious gift - my husband.



When my son was 4 years old, I went through a not-so-fun divorce. I then lived as a single Mom for 6 years. During the later part of those years, I was introduced to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and my life was made new and fresh and complete,...but I still desired a godly husband in my life and father for my son.




VERY long story made VERY short...One day, I was called in to see the Sunday School teacher because my "precious son" (LOL) had been acting up in class. Well, that Sunday School teacher, 2 years later, became my most wonderful husband and I am forever blessed. Although he had never been married or had children, he rolled up his sleeves and wholeheartedly took on the role of Dad. He worked hard to learn what God requires of a godly Father. Two years later he adopted our son, and now we share not only our love, but our name as well. I am so thankful for the life that God has provided us with, and the abilities he has given to my husband to be our early provider. He is truly a blessing in our lives, God knew exactly what I needed, and He graciously gave me more!




He has always worked hard and provided us a wonderful home. He made sure that I would be able to stay home and homeschool our son, that I would never have to worry again about taking care of myself. He is the love of my life and has been my earthly Lover, Provider, Protector, Best Friend, Superhero, Personal Comedian, Mr. Fix-it, Mechanic, Carpenter, Mentor, and Godly Leader of our Household. I love this man, and I am ever thankful to my Lord for giving him to me. :)
Have a blessed day!

  9. Happy Anniversary! God is awesome!

    Many years ago, I, too, went through a divorce and became a single mother. A while later, I became a Christian. Four years after that, God brought my husband, also a Christian, into my life. He adopted my daughter after we got married. He is a blessing from God. We've been married for over twenty-two years and have added two more children to our family. Our three girls are now 31, 18, and 14. I am so very blessed!
