Valentine Day is upon us...I am not much for the sappy holiday - those I love, know I love them (hopefully) every day of the year. But I thought it would be fun to list the things that I cherish so much about my own husband and if you are reading this, and happen to be a husband, you might find this a helpful list to aspire to as well.
These are just some of the reasons I love my husband!
He doesn't lie.
He is a man of intergity in all areas of his life.
He is patient and kind and loving.
I never have to wonder where he is...he is either at home, work or church...what a blessing!
He gets up on his day off to help me feed, clothe and get my child to school.
He stays up late to change the oil and rotate my tires.
He is a saver...he saves money for the hard times, he saves cardboard boxes and old vacuum cleaner parts too (you never know how handy those two things can be!!)
He treasures my little girl more than his life.
He works and works and works...and he ensures that our little family has all we need and MORE!
He has a strong, abiding faith in our Lord, which is hard to find these days!
He puts up with me...which is no small feat!
He puts his family before himself...I don't think he has bought himself anything in at least a year!
('course he did buy that car...but hey - I am talking about the little things!!)
He appreciates what I do...cooking, cleaning and child-rearing!
He loves his parents. If they need him - he is there!
He loves his sister and her family - he might not want to cross the Mason Dixon Line - but if needed he would make that trip up to the NORTH to help her if she ever needed.
He likes country music.
He can play the mess out of Donkey Kong and Super Mario on the Wii.
He takes my child for long car rides and ice cream just so Mom can have a rest.
He actually looks forward to spending time with me and the kiddo!
This list is getting longer by the minute, it is easy to write for me. I am blessed with a husband who loves me - even when I mess up, even when I am really unlovable, even when my deeds and words hurt him...he is always by my side. I know this same list could not be said of me, and I know how blessed I truly was to get him for my very own! I am infinitely grateful for him, for our life together and for the future we are both looking forward to...no matter what it brings.
Happily,
Beverly

He better make that trek up over that line. And bring you with him! :)
Sounds like your guy and mine are cut from the same steady, loyal cloth.
Which, lately, I've not been terribly appreciative of. I'm in a funk. :(
