You are asleep right now, and I'm thinking about you. It's snowing and you're snoring. The two make a cute little combination. God has sent snow on our 25th Anniversary. You have been teasing me all day because I asked you what "Our Song" was. Since we've never had one, you came up with this song that drove me crazy all night. I asked you to just meow at me like you do the dog, but that didn't stop you. Oh no... you went to bed with that song on your brain. Now it's 2:00am in the morning and I can't remember what that silly song is! I do love you for trying. I asked you to write me a love letter, but I knew you wouldn't do it! And I love you for it. I'm the one who writes. You pick out the greatest cards. You're a manly man. And I'm quirky. We've through many things, you and I. You've held me during childbirth, when I've grieved, and during layoffs; you've nursed me and taken care of me through many surgeries. Your strong arms have picked me up when I've fallen down, or when I couldn't get up. Your shirts have been wet with my tears. You even pretend to laugh with me or act like a girl. I like that about you. When it came down to a husband for me, God was instrumental in the selection process. He had to be, because you are a man who loves Him and you are strong and faithful. You put up with most of my wacky ideas and who I am. God is in the midst of our marriage, and He binds us together with His love. No letter was ever needed... For I looked out the door and it was as if I could see flakes of your love falling down to me from the sky.
Thank you, God... for my husband, and our marriage. |
