This post is in honor of my husband...don't kill me, Will.
Will demonstrates God's love to me on a daily basis, and today on Valentine's Day, I want to share a little of our story with others. I'm not bragging, just blessed and very grateful.
It really is all in the little details. Sometimes, when it's all in the details, it is easy to overlook things and take things for granted. Today, I choose to recognize all those little things and define the ways that Will has shown me true love.
Love is...
-not keeping record of wrongs. Will, thank you for always forgiving me when I mess up.
-taking care of your household. Will, thank you for working hard in the classroom every day. Also, thank you for your commitment to running alongside me with "gazelle intensity" so we can get out of debt.
- being there in sickness and in health. Will, thank you for all the fun times when we are well. I love riding in the car with the sun shining, windows down and music playing. Thanks for rushing out for crackers and soup when I'm not well...and also for that time you held a trash bag open for me while I lost my morning smoothie when I was pregnant.
- sharing humor. Will, I love our thousands of inside jokes. I hope others do not think we are obnoxious.
-making bottles, changing diapers and snuggling with our precious boy. Will, I hope Owen grows up to be like you.
-God. Our God is love. Will, thank you for seeking God and for reading His word and for saying prayers with me and Owen every night. I know God blesses our family because of it.
I didn't realize how to say it on Sunday while we were at the house, but it just came to me out in the car. I just know that God is doing amazing things through your relationship. I have seen so many awesome things happen as a result of your constant desire to glorify God. I am so thankful for a solid example of a God-seeking relationship in my life. Those are soooo hard to come by. Even though Allie and I have been together for about 3 months, I have been told that people are looking to us as an example of a good relationship. We just hope that we don't lose sight of our real role model, the unconditional, powerful love of God. He has been guiding me so much in the recent months. I can tell that my life is changing, and I'm becoming a more shining example of God's love. I attribute this to you guys in part, because God has so nicely placed you right in front of me.
