To say that God gave me the right wife is such a huge understatement that gets huger all the time. ☺
The other night, Annie was reading in bed while I dozed off. She wanted so much to wake me up and tell me the exciting things God was sharing with her as she was reading. The next morning, she told me all about how God had been telling her that my PTSD – and everything else we’ve faced together – is so good for us because it’s made us seek and cling to God in a way we would not have done unless God had allowed these things in our lives.
Annie tells me all the time that she loves me and that she’s so thankful God let her be my wife – And I tell her the same and how fortunate I am to be her husband. Her love for me and the desire God put in her life to be my wife just amazes me. While our lives have seemed very difficult, we both know God has been in all of it and that He’s used it for good in ways we could never have imagined.
When I think of all the ways God has taught us (mostly me because I needed more teaching and changing than Annie did) to love each other more and more, it just overwhelmes me.
Thank You, God, for my beautiful Annie. Thank You that she needed and wanted You as much as I did. I’m forever grateful for her love and for the way You’ve blessed my life with her precious life.
When love is discovered, tried and blessed by God, the result is a new Love that He keeps creating and blessing with His joyful liberty, adventure and wonder.
What a God He is.
To God and Annie –

You are so beautiful to me

You’re everything I hoped for
You’re everything I need
You are so beautiful to me
You are so wonderful To me

You’re everything I need

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
