Astounding

My wife. She truly astounds me. She is such an amazing mother, wife, and human being. I do not know and cannot think of many people that can even come close to the way she cares about people and their well being. I also cannot think of anyone who could love me through everything in my life the way she does after hurting her so badly, except for who she is modeling, Jesus Christ. Every day I spend with this amazing woman I see Jesus shining through her and see her trying harder everyday to be like Him. I see her looking through His eyes. She is so strong and so compassionate even to those who continually try to get under her skin. Less than I would have probably. Everyday I see my wife I love her more and more. I wish I could show her how much I love her. I so wish I could use a time machine and go back and take away all the hurt she has ever faced and been through. Especially by the ones that are closest to her and caused the most pain. Sometimes I look back on things I have done and have the same regard to those things as I would for someone kicking someone who was already on the ground and couldn't take anymore. It disgusts me! I feel like such a horrible person on the inside most days and completely unworthy of her love and grace. Whenever someone wrongs me I think about my wife and my Jesus who she displays for me everyday. I could not ask for a more amazing woman to stand not in front of or behind me but next to me, or to raise our children.

Moral of this story...follow God to the right person then stand with them no matter what you go through together, it is worth it!

I love you baby! Thanks for being you and loving me for who I truly am in Christ!

Toy Robot

So for Christmas a few years ago my wife bought me a radio controlled robot. Well I was admittedly less excited than I should have been about it. This was not far after my accident and I was a little too serious in my mind for that. Well needless to say that really hurt my wife's feelings immensely! I couldn't figure out why she bought me a toy for a gift at my age, and she knowing I loved electronics and robotic stuff couldn't figure out why I didn't seem to like it. Well after a good bit of discussion I realized that it was so much more than a toy. It is still the sweetest gift anyone has ever given me. She knew I wasn't what I was before and she wanted to give that back to me. She gave me the robot to try and bring me back to when I was younger and before the accident. When I realized the thought she put into my gift it blew my mind! She knew what I really needed and wanted to give it to me. I could not ask for a sweeter, more thoughtful, more loving wife. God has blessed me beyond words! I wish I was more like her!
