34 Reason Why I Married the Right Man

This past Saturday was our 34th wedding anniversary!  I can hardly believe that it has been 34 years.  God has been so good to us and blessed us in so many ways.  I am thankful for the years that the Lord has given us together and I want to share 34 reasons why I know I married the right man. 
  1. I was willing to wait for the right person.   This took a little doing because I nearly married the wrong person a few years earlier.  God protected me.  I am so glad I waited!  
  2. He loves the Lord wholeheartedly.  He did then and does now.
  3. We hit it off right away.
  4. We spent our time serving the Lord while dating.  It wasn’t just about us.
  5. My husband was and still is a family oriented man.
  6. My husband loves me for who I am and has since day one.
  7. I love him for who he is and did since day one.
  8. We have come through good and bad together and have worked through trials together while trusting the Lord.
  9. He is my best friend.
  10. He is the hardest worker I know.  He does not have a lazy bone in his body. 
  11. He is the best father I know.  He loves his children and they love him.
  12. He loves me even at my worst.
  13. He likes to be with me more than anyone.  Why, I don’t know, but I am sure glad that he does.
  14. He is  a wonderful grand father!  His grand children love him so much!
  15. He has a compassion for souls and shares the gospel with others.
  16. He has always been a good provider.
  17. He has always been generous.
  18. He has honored his parents and honored mine like his own.
  19. He has always been faithful.
  20. He is wise.
  21. He has his priorities in the right order - God, wife, children, church, job
  22. He is a leader.
  23. He’s my protector.
  24. He is a good teacher and teaches by example.
  25. He is a strong disciplinarian.  He is self disciplined and he disciplined in love and according to the Word of God.
  26. He is a good counselor and backs up his counseling with the Word of God.
  27. He is affectionate, not just to me, but to all of his family.
  28. He is a giver of his time, talent, and treasures.
  29. He is honest and trustworthy.
  30. He is unselfish.
  31. He is a discerner.
  32. He spends time daily in the Word of God.
  33. He has a servant’s heart. 
  34. He has been the best person I know to spend the last 34 years of my life with and I look forward to many more if the Lord tarries!

Wednesday’s Wisdom

1 Kings 8:61  Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day. How much do we give? Psalms 96:8-9 “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name:” (Give Praise and worship) “bring an offering, and come into his courts.” (Give personal wealth) “O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.” (Give practical witness) “ God wants our praise.  The world needs our practical witness of a holy life.  and we need to give our personal wealth.  God does not need our gifts-but we need to give.  The greatest gift we can give is to give our lives to His service. ~The above is from My Morning Manna, vol. 3, p. 226, by Ed Nelson

He first loved me. He sent His only begotten son to die in my place. He forgives all my sin He saved me by His shed blood He has never left nor forsaken me. He is ever merciful and His merc...
