My Steve is such a romantic guy. So, holidays like Mothers Day he really shines... hits it out of the ballpark, so to speak. I'm one lucky lady, to have snagged a such a great catch.
Most of the time, his romanticism is lost on me. I'm not looking to be wooed, but more for the tangible (dishes done, laundry folded, grass mowed...) but I'm learning to accept this "love language" of his.
So, this Mothers Day, I was adored by a clean house, gas in the car, a fixed toilet seat, and the most endearing card ever. The best part were the words he penned. They read,
"I can't wait to parent for the next 20 some years with you. You are skilled, smart,sensitive. For the first 5 years of our marriage, I loved you as my wife. These last 5 years I have adored you as my kids' mother."
As I write this, the thought creeps in, what's the big deal. This isn't too terribly special. But, for some reason, it was. To me.
I love my man, and the Lord who has given him to me. Thank you, Jesus.
