I've journeyed with this guy for 26 years, I couldn't imagine life without him, he's my right hand man. He's my greatest encourager, he's spoken words of life to me so often when I've felt down or felt like I just didn't have much to offer anyone. He sees the good in me that I don't always see. This husband of mine is a humble man, a man of integrity, willing to own where he's done wrong. He's teachable...something I'm not always the best at being but am learning through him. A forgiving man, not a grudge keeper but a releaser. He is a man who earnestly seeks what God would have him do. A simple man is how he would describe himself, not extravagant or needing the best of this world, material possessions mean little to him. He holds loosely to the things he has but holds tightly to the God he serves and loves. Wisdom dwells in his heart and I am always amazed at how he walks our kids through their struggles in launching into adulthood and all that comes with breaking away. He is one amazing father, oh he knows he hasn't been perfect and he's made mistakes but his heart and purpose is to see them fly and be all that God calls them to be. Involved and willing to go down the the tough roads...that's him and I'm so thankful to be his wife.
The one section of woods was filled with trilliums, a blanket of white with hints of pink.
