Love is a choice..

Men can be rather dirty, smelly at times and even prideful.
They can also be knowingly or secretly very gentle, emotional and very selfless.
They put their stinky socks on our bedroom floors.
They don't rinse off their dish when they're done with it (most of the time).
They're very careful money managers..
But, they also know just how to make you smile.
They know that a simple kiss on the cheek, a snug hug from behind and a whisper into your ear "I love you my beautiful", is so much more then just a simple act of affection.
They take the time to wipe your tears and hold you when you're crying over things like, not being able to get pizza hut, your nail snapped, the water is to warm to drink, they don't have my size, I miss my children that I have only been separated from for 20 minutes, I miss my family, you ate the last piece that I wanted...
We put up with a lot of things that our lovingly, some times ditzie Husbands do to.
But, they put up with all of our up and down emotions, opinions, change of minds, requests, demands, desires and needs.
They go to work what they can, even if it's 3 jobs just to make sure that we can be home with our babies and still have enough left over at the end of the week to go out for an ice cream together.
They don't complain.
They are proud and thankful to be our leaders.
To be our best friend.
To help us know our Father better.
To dry our tears.
To make us laugh.
To bring life into this world and raise them.
To love us.
Not because they feel they have to.
But because they want to..

The love of my life...

The love of my life...
My photo
Jesus saved me. He saved me before I ever knew such a thing. He saved me when I was 6, innocent,unknowledgeable of the insanity's and responsibilities of this world. He saved me when my world was a puzzle of sadness, fear and uncertainty. My God is the reason I am a better person today. A wife. A mother. He's blessed this life in so many ways, that it astonishes me beyond my own understanding. I can't comprehend His Grace at all...I'm madly inlove with my most loyal friend in this world, my Husband. Our children are such a joy and miracle to us... I love the rain, sunshine, beaches, the sound of rushing water, bbq's, family, friends, traveling, camping, the stars, giggles, baby hugs and smells...
