overcoming anger {day 12} rejoice in the wonderful

Today is my 10th Anniversary. 

 
 When I think about my husband, I cry.  What a treasure and gift he is to me.   As a single person I often contemplated what type of person it would take to bear me.  I wondered if such a person existed.  I could not imagine God picking a more perfect spouse for me.  He is the one I prayed for.  He is the one I waited for.

In the midst of parenting, I don't often get to look at my husband.  We are moving so fast...so busy meeting the needs of our demanding little birds.  We are running past each other.  Tagging hands as we pass off the kids and try to make it to the next thing on our respective calendars. 

This weekend we are going away.  Four nights of just us.  My parents are here in their super hero capes to bless my kids with grand-parenting.  They are blessing us with respite.  At such a much needed point in our life.  In our marriage.

My husband is my inspiration to be a better person.  His are the hands I imagine in mine as we grow wrinkly together.  His are the eyes I look to for understanding.  His are the arms I need for support. 

Today, I rejoice in the wonderful.  My wonderful.  My husband.

I love you and thank you for not only bearing me, but loving me and treasuring me.  Thank you for helping me to see my goodness.  Thank you for calling me to be better and love stronger.  I don't want to be in this with anyone else.  XOXOX
