Praise for My Man, King of Hard Work

My husband leaves for work at 5:20 a.m. He does hard, physical labor all day in the oil field, then gets home between 9:00 and 9:30 p.m. He eats supper and tries to get to bed by 10:30 so he can start all over again the next morning at 4:50. He does this Monday through Friday and every other weekend. He just celebrated his 55th birthday. This man is a Prince of Hard Workers.

But I've titled him King, right? Here's what puts him on the throne. After a day of relentless toil, this is a common sight:

I love you, Gary.

Hey!

Sorry it's taken me so long to comment you but my family and I have been real busy lately working in our garden. :) I love what you wrote about your husband. I thought it was real sweet. I love reading things like this. :) When I was reading it, I saw how in some ways, my Dad was sort of like your husband. He worked hard all the time. He kept us all laughing and thinking and he loved God with all his heart. And I will miss him terribly but at least I know that he is up in Heaven with Jesus. :)
Well, I hope you have a wonderfully blessed day!

lots of hugs,
Jordan Lee

Stephanie, good to see you at the lunch yesterday. I just wanted to say thank you for praising your husband. In a day when men are torn down, made fun of and the divorce rate so high, it is WONDERFUL to hear the praise of a man who has chosen to follow his God. Take care!

Thank you so much for your comment on my post seeking wisdom for teaching responsibility! I really appreciate you taking the time for me. I'm so glad your method had such a positive effect on your kids and I'll definitely give your ideas some thought. I have always been uncertain about the most effective way to use rewards. I would encourage you to blog about this as you have certainly had a lot of experience in this area.

This is a sweet post about your husband. You are blessed!

Take care and have a terrific week!

Wow! That is a very long day. It's great to see him studying his Bible even though he is tired and has worked so hard. That is a blessing.
