Day 17- Anniversary

Hebrews 13:4
Marriage should be honored by all

Today I was able to celebrate four years of marriage to the most wonderful, sweet, loving, kind, funny man!  I am beyond proud to call him my husband and soul-mate.  Watching him raise our boys and teach them how to be Christ-like warms my heart daily.  We were blessed with a date (just the two of us) and the food was to die for good.  We were so full you could have rolled us out of the restaurant.  Friends of ours gifted us a dinner and at first it was weird to accept it, I can't pin point why it was hard to accept.  Possibly we didn't want to feel like we were taking advantage of a friendship, or proud because we want to afford it on our own.  As we sat across the table from one another and enjoyed the love, laughter, and silence.  I realized how extremely blessed we were to have that date, to have that gifted to us.  It was far better than any gadget, flowers, or thing that could have been bought for me.  It was more than a gift of food it was a gift reminding me of my husband and our marriage.  I was able to think past the kids, what I would have been making for dinner, or who's turn it is to do the dishes.  I was truly able to spend quality time in my marriage and I thank our friends dearly for that gift.  But more importantly I thank God for Jacob.  God knew he was meant for me, just as he knows so much more.  I can't wait to see what he has in store for us over our lifetime together.
