October 16 was our anniversary.  My dear husband and I have been married for 27 years!   I will share with you that he forgot until I wished him a happy anniversary.  But you know what?  That's okay!  It didn't bother me one bit that he forgot.  Why?  Because this wonderful man blesses me daily.  What could he possibly have done or given me today that would be any more special than what he does for me regularly. 

My wonderful husband almost daily looks at me like I'm the most beautiful woman in the world AND he will tell me..."girl, you STILL look good and I mean that!"  Now that sure can make a lady feel pretty.  Where would I ever find a man who comes home after working hard all day and say to me, "I know you've had a rough day, so don't worry about cooking."  And off he goes to the kitchen and cooks for us.  Over the years, he has finally learned my style.  Last week he brought me two pairs of very stylish yet comfy shoes... no special occasion, just because.  He does these types of things all the time. 

My dearie has a lot on his mind lately.  He worries so much about providing a better life for us.  He wants to be able to make our dreams come true.  You know the big house, travels, blah blah blah.  While it would be nice to have such things and not to have money worries,  I am always careful to show hubby that I am content.  I would live with this man anywhere and be happy.  When I tell him this, he says it makes him want to bless me more.  Isn't that funny.  But I suppose that's love, eh. 

In the beginning it was not so.  We were both so young and foolish, coming into a marriage with preconceived notions of how married life should be.  Neither of us comes from a family where marriage is the norm, so how could we have known what a godly marriage should be like.  One thing we did know and that was that no matter what...we would stay together.  We knew there had to be more to life than what our parents had known. 

God has blessed me with a strong steady man, one who balances my whimsy.  And yet he's just as goofy and young at heart as I am.   Funny that over the years we have become so much more closer and more alike ... more one.  

Thank you Father
