Today is a double blessing for my life. Both I did not grow up expecting and in fact grew up a skeptic of both areas. Today marks first my anniversary with my beloved wife. 29 years! 10, 600 days or so with the same woman. To have that time with her has been the best earthly blessing clearly of my life. She has been best friend, lover, counselor, nurse, encourager and trusted companion. The courage and freedom that comes with her love for me is amazing and impossible to express. Thank you God for such a great wife...one that after this long is still so great to be with. I am the type of person that tires of some things and needs change quite often, but she is still as interesting and mysterious and yes, even exotic as the first day we met! How does that happen? What a gift!!
(i can share all this cuz she will not see this...does not even really know i have this page...hahah)
Second blessing is Fatherhood. Today is father's day and i have 2 awesome sons. Following their own path and one that I feel will end up in your hands God. One that, although does not make too much sense to me now, will make perfect sense in Your timing and Your good way. What a blessing to be entrusted with these two fine, intelligent, caring and gifted men. Two men that i know will make the Your world a much better place. They have been a huge blessing for me and one that has made me a much better man. Parenting has made me more loving, caring, and a whole less selfish. To know just a taste of the Father's love for us as an earthly father has also given me deep insight into God and His love for the whole earth.
I wake this morning a blessed man! Thank you God, for such a rich life. Psalm 16 is right about me...."...the boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places..."
Yep Dana is definitely a catch! :D
(and it's funny that she doesn't read the blog)
