The day is finally here! I
wanted to honor you today Jess, by publicly affirming you - the wife and mother
and woman that you are.
Many have gotten to know you through spending time with
you throughout the years whether it was through school, church, missions, or
work, but only I have the privilege to know you as husband for this short time
that we have on this earth.
So here are just a few things that I love about my wife:
I love that she lives life with no regrets. Each life decision, carefully
pored over, prayed over, trusting in the sovereign plan of God. I love that she
seeks the wisdom of God through scripture, from books written by Christians
much wiser and more experienced in their faith than her, from women in the
church who are wiser. I love that she is wise. I love that she considers others
better than herself. I admire the fact that she means what she says, and that
her commitments are true, and for life. I admire her work ethic, her love for
reading and writing; I admire her depth. I love that each day I learn something
new about her, not because she is changing, but because there are many layers
that I have the privilege of pealing back and discovering more reasons why I am
so madly in love with this woman. I respect her because although she could have
chosen from a million other men much better looking and with much more money,
she chose me; and although she could have chosen a career and all of the
luxuries life has to offer, she choses to devote her life to
at-home-motherhood, even when it is costly and the rewards require patience and
faith. I love she walks the narrow path,
which is Jesus Christ, and lives her life to display his glory and to point
others to Christ, including myself, as she walks through the narrow gate which
leads to life.
“Enter by the
narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to
destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the
way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” Mathew 7:13-14
Happy 30th
Birthday my love.
PS- Did I mention she is silly at times? Ya, I love that too :-)
