If life is carrying on as I think it will be in one week, we should be in DisneyLand on this special day. I'm writing this a bit early ~ I just didn't want your day to pass without me sharing how grateful I am to celebrate your life with you today!
These are just a few of the things that I love about you...
~ you are loving. You have been since I first met you. You have taught me so much of what I need to know about love....certainly in words, but always by example.
~ you are a giver. You love to bless others and prefer to do it without them knowing it was you who helped with the blessing.
~ you are smart. I laugh sometimes at the insane amount of information you carry in your brain.....how you know so much about so many things. I'm always amazed.
~ you are wise. To me, there is a difference between smart and wise. You continue to guide and lead people carefully with the wisdom you've been blessed with. It is comforting to follow you. You can always be trusted to make the best choice based on what God has taught you through His Word and through the life lessons He has brought you through.
~ you are faithful......to me, to our family, to those you love and to those you are trying to love more or better....and to your God. When times are tough and you are tempted to resist His will and purpose for your life , you remain committed to carry out all that He has in mind for you.
~you are tender hearted. Meaningful words, stories, pictures and occasions cause your heart to overflow with emotion. Thank you for sharing that part of you with me.
~ you are funny. On the worst of days, you make me smile. You never pass up an opportunity to make someone giggle:)...even if it makes you look silly!
~ you are a provider - you sacrifice so much of what you want and need so that our family can get what it wants and needs sooner.....even today- on your birthday, you are scheduled to have lunch with your daughters and all of the Disney princesses. You sacrifice again and again to ensure that joy is given to others before you take it in yourself.
~ you are humble...because even as you are reading this, I know you are thinking " I need to be more....". Though I appreciate your desire to always want to 'better' yourself, I think you are wonderful and amazing.

I also love that you always greet me with a kiss and a hug. I love your warmth - you're the best 'warmer-upper' ever, I love your smile and your laugh. I love your homemade pizza. I love the way you play with our kids.....especially wrestle time. I love to listen to you breathe while you sleep and I love to pray for you while you do it. I love sharing life with you - each miraculous moment.
You are a gift from God and I thank Him for you....for lettting me witness and experience first hand, the blessings that come from you being all that He made you to be.
I love you with all of my heart, sweetheart. Happy Birthday!
