What a perfect day to tell you what I love about my husband…
I love his eyes…sometimes green…sometimes blue!
I love that he never raises his voice when he’s angry…
I love the way he loves me…unconditionally with amazing grace and patience…more than once he has taught me what my heavenly Father’s love is like!
I love the way he loves our children...
*How he takes the boys to breakfast every once in a while to discuss ‘manly’ things with them…
*Or how he takes Mackenzie on a date night to her favorite restaurant…
*Or how he’s not afraid to paint Abby’s toenails for her!
I love that he loves my family (his in-laws)…that he likes to hang out with them!
I love that he serves with no thought of himself…he gives and gives and never asks or expects anything in return…
I love how he offers me so much perspective when I’m upset about something…
I love how he listens to me and doesn’t try and fix me or the situation…
I love that instead of criticizing me, he waits and prays and lets God do His work in me…
I love that he will ask me great questions, leading me to a course of action, instead of just telling me what to do…he lets me own it and make it mine…
I love how he supports me in the ways I serve in ministry, even when I know there are other things he would like for me to focus on more…
I love how he listens to my lectures every week, so I can practice, and he never seems to get tired of them!
I love that he is willing to surrender his will and walk in faith and obedience to wherever He believes God is leading him, even when it flies in the face of long thought out plans. Like when we adopted, that just wasn’t in his plan, but he prayed with a surrendered heart and stepped out in faith.
I love that we love the same movies…that he’s great at Trivial Pursuit, Boggle and Scrabble and that he would rather be hanging out with his family than any where else in the world.
I love how he respects me and loves me…I know with all of my heart that he is a beautiful example of Ephesians 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.” He lays down his life for his family everyday…setting aside his wants and giving us each what we need.
Today is Scott’s day to receive gifts, but he is a gift to us everyday! I am so thankful that before eternity began, God planned for our lives to intersect and that He chose me to be his wife!
P.S. There's an adoption post from this morning below...

Awwwww...so sweet!! I already sang my birthday song on the last post...so won't sing it again. :) Happy Birthday, Scott!!
I would add two or three or six things to that:
I love how he lets Sharla and me "play" when I come to visit. He never complains no matter how long we putz.
I love his stability, his integrity, his honesty, his dependability, and his character.
I love how he sometimes just shakes his head, but doesn't fall out laughing.
I love how he helps me with the computer and makes things "be right"
I love his patience and his total unselfishness.
I love to listen to his thoughts and see things thru his eyes.
I love that he enjoys hanging out with Sharla's family.
Most of all I am so appreciative of how he loves my child and my grandchildren.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one SPECIAL GUY.
Loove you,
Melba, Mom, Noba
