Looking back over the last 20 years I would have to say I appreciate his faithfulness and commitment to me and our children...especially the middle child whom we adopted ... even in the midst of much adversity. And I appreciate his hard work and dedication to financially providing for us! It hasn't ever been easy for him!

He always thinks he is right and I always try to find the good in everything. What I appreciate the most about my husband is that he always goes to God's Word in any situation good or bad. He is the most faithful person I know. I also appreciate that he gave up his career to stay at home with our twin boys (they are 2 1/2 now), so everyday is a difficult one!! Please pray for us, God is working in our lives and we just want to do what God wants for our life. We moved away from home 2 years ago seeking God's will for our life. My husband has been called to the ministry and we are just waiting for doors to open to know where God wants us. My husband and I are definately total opposites.

A friend recently reminded me that I have to rely on God's love to get me through. Because no matter how deeply my husband loves me it's flawed. But God's love is perfect! My husband is a wonderful father and he has a lot of patience. He is very calm and laid back most of the time, too. My marriage has been under spiritual warfare for some time now, too.

He's so much more patient than I! He is an involved father who helps with every aspect of bringing up our four younguns. I appreciate the way my sweetie cares for our kids.

In fact, he sent me an email about the devotion..isn't that ironic. I appreciate my husband because he is honest and dedicated. We have been married for 17 years and it hasn't always been the 'smoothest'. We've definitely had our ups and downs ~ but through it all we remain committed to one another. Three years ago we re-dedicated our lives to Christ. In fact, I converted from the Catholic Church to a wonderful Christian Church. We both have become more 'focused' on Christ and love it. I just found your blog today after reading Melanie Chitwood's blog. I am subscribing ~ awesome devotion! Wow ~ ‘mismatched candlesticks’ ~ that describes my husband and I to a ‘T’.
