my husband

There are times that God opens my eyes to see things I have not seen before.
In the move, there has been so much to do.
We now have a lawn that takes 6 hours to mow.
The first week we were at the new place, the lawnmower broke.
And God showed me my husband.
My husband approaches problems far differently than I do.
He does not waste the time or energy it takes to get discouraged.
He simply assess and proceeds in the fixing. problem after problem, he approaches them the same. Problems within problem, he might get a little exasperated but he does not quit. He just assesses what the next step needs to be then he does it.
For him, a new set of problems is life giving.
He gets bored with the same old problems over and over.
And he really enjoys company as he problem solves.
If I am just standing there he loves to talk to me and cheer him on by shared support.
He is very good at telling stories.
I marvel at the way his circuitry works.
As I have gotten healing and have become aware of some the deficits in my own circuitry, I am more in awe of God for giving me a life mate who loves me and shares with me and likes to be with me.
I love my husband.
Next month is 25 years for us.
What a journey it has been.
Today I just want to honor the one who said I do to me 25 years ago.
It has not been perfect.
But it is God’s perfection, for us to be apart of God’s work in perfecting us, to be together.
Selah.
