Intelligent, capable, self-assured, with a healthy dose of humor and humongus heart...these are the qualities that attracted me first. Laughter has saturated our days and lightened my heart on many occasions. A great teacher, always patient when I hard-headedly cling to my self-defeating purposes, he is my rock, my best friend.
Following his lead has taken me over roads I would not have traveled on my own, adventures better left to the adventurers! He has brought me out of my shell, nourished and gently prodded me to take a risk and enjoy the ride.
But never have I loved him more than today, love the man he has become in God's church! I watched and listened as he spoke kind, loving words to a grieving family, words of encouragement and hope of a completely trustworthy Lord, celebrating the life of a man he knew not well, but loving him and his family he spoke from his heart.
His faith encourages me. His growth encourages me. His teaching inspires me to greater knowledge of God's Word. His love for me envelopes and protects, but it is his love of the Lord that fills my heart. Thank you, Lord, for this husband, friend and lover of You!
