Gratitude is something that is lacking in American culture. You see it so many places, including our homes. When we purposefully look for things for which we are thankful, the transformation to our attitudes is amazing! Wives, I would challenge you to list (at least) ten things about your husband. And keep an eye out for how your attitude toward him improves!
1. My husband loves the Lord more than me. Yes, I willingly admit that I do not want to be number one in my husband's life. I will gladly be number two, as long as the Lord remains in the top spot.
2. He has a wonderful, sometimes twisted, sense of humor. (and it matches mine, which is great!)
3. He is much more compassionate than I am.
4. He is extremely patient, although I know that his patience does have its limits (and I need to learn not to push those limits).
5. He is a talented musician. He sings, plays piano, guitar, bass guitar, and little bit of drums. He loves being creative with music.
6. He loves his parents, and that is a beautiful thing to see.
7. He has a good sense of style. I never have to worry about what he's wearing. In fact, sometimes I ask his opinion on what I'm wearing!
8. He is a wonderful father. I love watching him play with Ladybug and listening to them giggle together.
9. He's smart. A little bragging on him, if you don't mind. He has maintained a 4.0 GPA through TWO graduate degree programs (with only his internship left in this program, I'm declaring that to be an A as well).
10. And he sure is a handsome guy! I love his goatee (I've never seen him without a goatee or beard).

He sounds like a great guy, and I'm so happy that there are still such amazing daddies and husbands out there. I've got one in my house too, and life is just a joy!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder!
i love #1....he and ryan share so many of the same things, but with me, of course!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list!! We are usually so quick to criticize and complain about our husbands but we don't build them up nearly enough. What a great idea!!! I'll be taking your idea and posting my list too.
