My Husband

My husband is awesome
My husband is great.
His humor is first class
not second rate.

My husband, so wonderful
and yet so complex.
My husband, how I love him
my heart he doth not vex.

My husband is loving
My husband is kind
My husband is always there
in body, spirit, and mind.

My husband, my blessing
He makes me complete.
Without him my life would be
an insurmountable feat.

Here's to you honey
The one who on this earth
loves me the most.
The one who does me no harm
The one on whom I love to boast.

I have a wonderful, wonderful husband.  I love him dearly.  He has always been my special angel.  To say that I love him cannot even begin to describe just what my heart holds for him.  He always puts God first, even when others don't understand.  Money is not his motivator (Praise God).  My husband is not material.  He seeks first the kingdom of God and His righteousness so that these things may be added unto you.  He provides spiritual guidance and leadership for our family above all else.  He is ministry minded.  He is people minded.  He puts others before himself - always.  To me he is precious and I am willing to go down whatever path God has for us regardless of what others may say.  It occurred to me today that I am 35 and I have gray hair!  Why should I let discouraging words affect my relationship with God or my husband?  Why should I sacrifice eternal blessings because "they" do not approve?  I will not and cannot do that anymore.  That part of my life is done. I am a grown woman capable of making my own decisions.  I am ready (and way overdue) to defend my husband and his actions.  You see, I know beyond any shadow of a doubt that we are EXACTLY where God wants us.  That's what matters most to US.
My husband has been a young man with lots to learn.  My husband has been down hard roads of lessons learned from mistakes.  My husband has made progress. (and so have I thanks to him!)  My husband is now a middle age man with knowledge gained from experience.  My husband is growing as a person, a Christian, a husband and a father.  My husband is wonderful.
I will support my husband in everything.  If that means poverty, homelessness, hunger or shame I will support him.  God shall supply all our NEED according to HIS riches in glory.  We have never done without.  We have never been hungry.  We have never suffered.  God has ALWAYS provided exactly what we needed when we needed it.  He has supplied above and beyond our needs and given us wants.
A Godly life does not always entail riches and glory.  Sometimes it's just walking the chosen path meant just for you and that is what we are doing - together.  We've been made fun of, rejected, scolded and lectured.  We have carried on together. My husband is someone in whom I delight.  He gives me strength when I am tired.  He gives me courage to carry on when people are so mean and nasty.  As I am writing this, I am realizing more and more that my husband is a direct reflection of Christ's love for us.  The strength, the love, the courage - it's amazing!
My husband is human, he is not perfect, but for me he is perfect.  He is exactly what I need and who I need to spend the rest of my life with.
I asked my children one day "Are you happy?"  They said "What do you mean?"  I said "You know, do you like your clothes, your shoes, your hair, your parents, your house?"  They all said "Yes, of course"  They do not desire a large house, fancy shoes or brand new clothes all the time.  They are happy because they see that displayed in their father.  My husband is not only a wonderful husband but a wonderful father.

For you honey, because I love you and I don't care who knows.  I support you in whatever, wherever, and however - now and forever.  I know you are not perfect but I don't care.  I'm bragging on the God that lives inside of you and what He has done in your life.  Only He can make you be what I need and you have done an awesome job of letting Him mold you in His hands.
Yours forever!

  1. Wow! I'm flattered, I'm honored, I'm amazed, but most of all I'm humbled by your praises. I love you, and It is an honor to be your husband. Thank you for your love, support, and encouragement.
    I admire the woman that you have become. God has certainly inspired you to draw nigh unto him and it shows. The love of a man's family is a great reward in this life, and I feel that I have that in you and the children. May we stay united always for a house divided against itself can not stand.
    My love,thanks, and appreciation to a wonderful wife.
