Linc and I had just finished having family prayer. Laying side by side, eyes closed, about to fall asleep, when all of a sudden a powerful feeling of overwhelming thankfulness takes over my body, mind and spirit. With my eyes still closed and a sudden urge, I whisper, "Babe." Half asleep, he grunts, "Hm?" I reply, "Thank you." Still half asleep, he responds, "Fr'what?" Not being able to control the silent tears of gratitude streaming down my face, I say, "For being my husband. *pause* And for everything you do for me......and Rush." STILL half asleep, he says, "y'welcome." Thirty seconds later, he's snoring. (lol)
I don't think he knew/understood the depth of this little convo but I laid there for the next couple of minutes, trying to understand why I'm feeling soooo overwhelmed with gratitude for this man
laying sleeping next to me. Then all these thoughts start rushing through my head of everything he's done for me, everything I've put him through, everything we've been through, how he's put up with me at my
worst, seen me at my
best, how he knows me better than I know myself, and the list goes on and on...
This flow of thoughts were then followed by
[more] thoughts, or should I say silent prayers? Silent prayers of gratitude towards the Lord, thanking HIM for blessing me with such a wonderful, caring, and unconditionally loving husband!
I am truly and
eternally grateful for being
blessed with such an AMAZING husband.....and for our beautiful, lovable, ENERGETIC, daughter! I can't and
NEVER want to imagine life without them! Ever. Thoughts I just HAD to share.♥
