What an Honor...

Sometimes it blows me away to realize how blessed I am to be married to my husband.

No, he's not the perfect man. He's not so in-tune with my female emotions that the perfect words are always on his tongue (oftentimes the wrong words pop out instead). He doesn't always let me have my way (not a pushover), he doesn't lavish me with expensive gifts or fancy cars. He isn't a die hard romantic, planning the perfect dates with all the frills. He doesn't waltz me around the floor at every wedding we attend, he doesn't wear fancy clothes or have a Doctorate degree. But that's not really what a perfect man is, is it? It never fails, each and every day, I look at the man who's shares my life, and I see how truly blessed I am to call him mine - he's perfect for me.

He's smart (can literally fix anything)...he's talented (plays the guitar), he can cook (makes me a birthday cake every year - sweet!)


He makes me laugh - sometimes uncontrollably. I don't mean he can just tell a funny joke, I mean the man MAKES ME LAUGH. It's like carrying around my own personal comedian in my pocket and all I have to do is push play...if you only knew!!!!


He offers to rub my feet, he doesn't care what I make for dinner, he doesn't care what color I paint the walls, he doesn't care if my hair is turning gray, he just loves me, loves me, loves me, and it amazes me.

Best of all, he loves Jesus with all of his heart...I've never met a man more devoted to living for Christ than my husband, and I am so very thankful for that.

The other day I made a cake for him to take to work, one of his co-workers asked where it came from, and when he said that I made it, his co-worker said "I thought your wife was a seamstress" (I do alterations sometimes)...to which he replied..."My wife is a Homemaker" :)

I love that my husband is proud of what I do, he appreciates it all, from sweeping the floors, to trimming the flowers, from making his smoothies to cooking the meals. It is such an honor for me to serve him, and I know that in doing that I am serving our Lord!

AMEN!
