Loving My Sweet Husband

How precious is this husband of mine! I love him so much, and I am so thankful that he is mine. Tonight, as the three of us girls hugged our dear daddy after he returned home from work, I was reminded of how truly precious he is. As a mother of two small, delightfully lovely little girls, my mind is usually filled with the joyful tasks of tending to their needs. I strive to make each day so special for them. I truly want their childhoods to be so blissful, so fun, so rich, and so full of godly teaching and training. And yet tonight I was reminded of how special my husband is. While he is grown and strong and independent, full of wisdom and godliness himself, I want to remember how special every day is for him too. I want to make every day lovely, truly lovely, for him. I want these years, and every year, to be as sweet as can be, almost like a dream you might say. How blessed I am to have been given the gift of this truly special man.

December Daily

I'm just in love with this idea of the December Daily from Ali Edwards! I first learned about it from Stephanie at Playing House, and it looks like so much fun! What a wonderful way to savor the memories that the holidays offer. I'm not certain that I'll be able to get this going in time for this year, but perhaps I can pick up something soon after the new year starts--the "ordinary" days of February can be just as blissful as the lovely days of December!! I'll let you know if I decide to give this a try, but I certainly hope you'll enjoy it for yourself!
