I return to you tonight, humbled and thrilled with my choice to lay low for a while. I pray blessings on you all, and I will explain my brief absence.
I became so enthralled in making other marriages work and offering advice to people I have never met that managed to forget the one marriage that truly matters more to me; my own. I have this issue with most things, as I leap in head first, not thinking about the consequences, and not focused on the effects in the immediate. Nothing truly negative ever comes of it.
I had to step back for a moment and take stock of a few things. And you know what I realized? I am a truly blessed man!!!
My wife is so encouraging, so supportive and so amazingly adaptable to all of the ideas I have. And she just keeps going, pushing forward while pushing me forward, with no thought for herself. And my greatest earthly strength comes solely from the support she gives me. Knowing she's behind/beside me allows me to put everything I am into something... ANYTHING... and have absolutely no fear of the outcome.
But here's where I falter; I forget to acknowledge and appreciate those qualities about her. I forget to offer encouragement back. I forget to speak her love language. I fail to remember that God chose her for me, specifically. I treat her like a person... not like a gift from the Most High.
I want to take a moment and say thank you to; the one God blessed me with; my partner; my adviser; my love; my very best friend; my wife; my LIFE!!! I love you, Lamb... more today than yesterday. And I'll love you more tomorrow than today... and I cannot wait for the Lord to help me to open my heart just that one extra sliver to show you more of it! It is why I wake up happy, and why I sleep soundly. Every day that I see your face is the single greatest day of my life.
Your Chicken loves you... always has, and always will.
God bless you all!!!
