The man who finds a wife finds a
treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord.
Today is my Julie's birthday. Not only is she
an excellent wife and a hard worker, but this lady is a true gift from
God. I have known that, seen that and
watched the overflow of the excellence all these years.
We celebrated 23 years of marriage in September,
and that means we have celebrated 23 of our birthdays together (she is only 28
days older than me). Through each of years, through raising our children,
through working together in our home and in the church, we have become a team.
No, life hasn’t always been easy, but we have
enjoyed many great times together. This
next week we experience a new milestone as our oldest child gets married. Not sure either of us is ready for that.
Together we have trusted God. Together we have seen many, many answered
prayers. But we also expect many more
blessed and great experiences ahead.
Thank you for praying for us (and especially for Rebecca and Josh as
they are married on Tuesday).
The verse I will close with today fits her very
well. The verse I began with is a fact, and I found favor with God. Julie
completes me. I don't say that to be sappy or to make her feel better.
It is truth. She is such a
PROVERBS 31 woman. I can trust her, and
she has my back. She protects and builds our family and me. Behind
closed doors, she often teaches me and even puts me in my place. I need
that.
I want to use today's devotion not to make Julie look good or make you
think I am good husband but to let the world know that my wife is a huge
blessing. If you know her, you know that. She makes my life better
and stronger. Our kids and I are blessed.
Happy birthday, my Julie! I love
you!
Proverbs 31:11 NLT
Her husband can trust her, and she will
greatly enrich his life.
