Today is Friday and I'm joining Katy Lin over at The Great Adventure for My Husband Rocks!!
You know, I could pull out the big guns and really brag and tell you what an awesome man I'm blessed with. I could brag about how hard he works to support his family and I could tell you how incredibly Christ-like he is and I envy that in him.
But I'm not.
I'm just going to tell you the facts.
This man loves and accepts me just the way I am. In 25 plus years of marriage, he's never tried to change anything about me. Not once.
He loves me if I'm the perfect weight or if I'm 75 pounds overweight (and I have been) or if I'm somewhere in between.
He always tells me I'm beautiful even when I'm covered in garden dirt and my hair is stringy from sweat. And he means it.
He quietly indulges me when I act 10 years old and even smiles when I dance to music he can't understand a word of.
He's patient if I've had a bad day and he can't kick his way through the house. He hates clutter, but he'll never complain.
He holds his tongue with me even when I haven't held my tongue with him.
He won't dunk me under the water in the pool, even though everything in him wants to, because he knows it scares me.
He'll watch chick flicks even when he'd rather be watching a documentary or something on the History channel.
He loves drag racing as much as I do, but when we go, he'll watch me because I get so wound up when the racing is going on.
It always amazes me when I stop and think about it how awesome God is.Even before I had a relationship with God, He picked out this man and blessed me with him.
Salvation aside....what a debt I owe.

What a great tribute to your husband. I wish my wife would do something like this for me. :(
I can't really remember how I came across your blog but have been reading it for a few weeks now. I am so glad to see your posts about your husband. My husband just recently left me and now that he is gone I can see all the way I didn't take time to honor and cherish him. Good for you!
