33 Things I Love about You

It’s my husband’s birthday today! And in keeping with what I wrote last year and the year before, here are 33 things I love about him :).

To my husband, my lover, my best friend… here’s what I love about you:

1. Your eagerness to minister for God’s glory.
2. The post-it love note you stuck on the showcase.
3. The way you patiently say “Bye” to the kids over and over again.
4. Your determination to balance family, church and work.
5. The encouraging words you scribbled in my planner.
6. The way you check on the kids after they’re asleep on Saturday nights.
7. For taking the kids’ homework off my hands.
8. Your dedication in training the choir.
9. For using your talents to glorify God.
10. The intensity with which you play the guitar (and keep breaking the strings!).
11. For giving up Saturday morning football just for me.
12. The way you discuss super heroes with the sons.

You’ll be glad you did!
