Happy Day!

We had a big day in our house this week... not really, if you ask my husband, but for me and our daughter?? It was a huge day. It was Steven's birthday! September 18, 1971 was the day that his momma (I can say momma, because he is Southern) was blessed beyond words 41 years ago. This is the day that he came in to this world and I thank God for that each and every day. I may not show it enough or tell him as much as I should, but I am thankful. Thankful for his birth, thankful for his mistakes, his accomplishments, and thankful for each and every downfall. If it were not for these things, we may not have found each other. And I know that he found me... he pulled me from a dark place and time in my life... I sometimes forget that. I take for granted that Steve did not have to choose me, or my boys for that matter. But he did, and I am so grateful! 

People talk about "God stories" all the time, I KNOW that we were brought together by the hands of God. He put us in the right place and the exact right time and continued to put us in each other's path. Steven  was the funny talkin' Southerner and I was the twice (or 3 or 4...) burned mom with 2 boys, and God continued to put this man in my path. He kept pushing us together... and for that, I am forever thankful!

I don't say it often enough, but I am blessed beyond words. I love this man... with all of my heart and all of my soul. And I am so, so thankful that he is MINE!
 

 

¹⁸ There are three things that amaze me—
no, four things that I don’t understand:
¹⁹ how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman.

Proverbs 30:18-19
