My Man and Me


Mama PC

Well. What can I say. I love this man. More and more each day.

Yes, at times I get frustrated with him, or impatient with his ways... but, when I settle down and take a deeper look, the problem is most-times with me.

He is always kind toward me. Always tender. Always sweet. He's never made fun of me nor spoken disrespectfully to me. Yes, he's been angry with me before, but most times the anger was provoked. Once riled up, it takes him a while to simmer down, but even in his anger, he's careful how he treats me.

My heart knew that he was a man that could be trusted. I had seen him for many years before we married...watched him in the ways he handled himself, others, and situations. He was a constant type of guy. He was kind. He was gentle. He was a true friend. And he always strived to do the best he could with what he had. He wanted to make sure everything made sense and lined up with God's word. These things were what drew me to him.

I knew I'd be safe with John. My heart would be safe. And it has been. And it is. And it will be.

hmmm...

consistency...

it's a very good trait.

I wish I had it more. I try to show it most times. To be consistant in the way I deal with things, and with people. But I fail. Not always...but occasionally I do.

A friend told me that they appreciated me, and that I was consistant, and not up and down all the time. I'd like to say I take pride in that...but pride is a bad thing to have after being saved. But I take measure to try to be consistant.

The Lord has blessed me with a peaceful spirit. Just a calm nature. Unless I get REALLY riled, then I try to be quick to repent. If I know anything...I know when I'm wrong. I dunno if anyone else likes it, but I like it about me.

meekness...sometimes mistaken for low-self esteem. Sometimes because of low-self esteem.

Lord, I give you my single years, however many there may be, and the years after. To perfect me. Prepare me, for my wife, and for you.

I'm in no hurry anymore Lord, patience...teach me to be patient. To be satisfied with exactly what I have, and to be anxious for nothing. Seeking only the kingdom, not so these things may be added unto me...but to see the kingdom COME, your will be done ON EARTH as it is in heaven.

:D

About Me

I have one wonderful, devoted, servant-hearted, gifted, long-suffering, thoughtful, faithful husband, We've enjoyed and persevered through 26! years of marriage...and we're glad we've stuck it out... with the past 6 years being the best! Three wonderful children that are thankfully still gracing our home with their presence, although all over 20 now.... I work too many hours.... want to cook more, clean less, spend more time outdoors or eating out with friends.... Someday I want to own jetskis, a boat, and a Harley Davidson in order to spend more time outside in God's creation doing fun and fast things... I'm learning to explore more deeply of this romantic relationship with the Lover of my Soul.
