I Love this Man

-

I love this guy.

He is quirky and has a goofy sense of humor and makes everyone laugh.

He is disciplined.  He sets goals and achieves them because he gets up and does what he is supposed to do every, single day.  It doesn't matter how he feels or how much sleep he got or the circumstances.  He does what he needs to in order to accomplish those goals.

He is easy going.  Things roll off his back.  He doesn't hold grudges.  He gets along with everyone.  There are no hidden meanings behind the things he says.  You can take him at face value.

He loves the Lord.  His desire is to grow spiritually and to help his congregation grow spiritually.  He takes his job seriously.  He prays for the people in our church all the time.

He loves people.  He could be around people 24 hours a day and be perfectly content.   Even though he sometimes has a hard time saying all the right things, he loves those the Lord brings under his care.

He is selfless.  He puts the needs of myself and his children above his own.  I've never known him to think of himself first.  If someone calls and needs him, he drops everything to be there.  The picture above shows this.  He dug that garden by hand even though he really didn't want to do it.  He did it even before I asked him because he knew how much I wanted a garden.

He is loved.  I love him.  His children adore him.  His friends love him.

I'm very glad the Lord brought him into my life.

    It is so wonderful to read such a beautiful tribute to your husband. So many women just complain and bad mouth their husbands.

    Truly, America(and my country-Canada) need more men like your husband.

    I love that you take the time to write about your husband. It seems in today's society women are always talking negatively about their husbands instead of building them up. Its has almost become "uncool" not to complain about our other half in most circles and this is such a shame. Its refreshing to hear from a wife who truly knows the worth of her husband and is happy to share her feelings about him with the world. http://drinkingfrommasonjars.blogspot.com

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a...

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost ...

When the Unexpected Pops Up

On Thursday afternoon, just as Dan and I were getting ready to leave for a meeting, we received a phone call from our son. He was sitting on the side of the road with a blown engine in his car. The problem is he lives 3 1/2 hours away. After back and forth phone calls he called a tow truck and got it towed to a garage. He ended up renting a car and headed here for the holiday. We've been working with him to figure out his next steps because he still owes thousands of dollars on the car which will also take a significant amount to replace the engine. His rent is going up in the new year. His seasonal job ended and he is trying to find something else, but needs a car for that to happen. His car still has not been looked at by the mechanic. It is all more than a little overwhelming. Long story short, we extended an invitation for him to live here temporarily so he can get out from under all of this. It would save him money on expensive rent and utilities.  The timing was right since h...
