I love my husband!

I find it so easy to neglect my husband and fail to appreciate him when I am rushing around after two little people. I often feel like I can't 'look after' him because I am already the primary care-giver to my girls. When he gets back from work, I don't feel in the mood to be selfless and tell him to sit down and unwind; I pass him the crying baby or tell him off if he isn't attentive enough to Chloe.

So, here I want to record just how much I love and appreciate him (and perhaps inspire other married visitors to this blog to do the same... To their wives/husbands, obviously!).

It has been so inspiring to see J growing into his church leadership role. I haven't seen such a change in him since we've been married. I love his time for people, the way he never complains about having to go out on yet another evening and how he is really seeking more of God in his personal life. I also love hearing him speak on a Sunday and share his passion for God's word and spirit.

I am also loving his leadership of is as a family. I really appreciate that he is sensible and wise when it come to life decisions, such as moving house. He keeps me grounded when my emotions run away with me. It is a comfort to know that our family are safe with him in charge. Having said that, I appreciate how J really wants to find a house that I will love and thinks about my desires in all of this.

There is so much more to say but these are two areas which I think my husband is doing a fab job in. 

Thank you Lord for giving me the perfect man to be my husband. I am sorry that I am often selfish in our time together, thinking that I deserve a rest and he doesn't. Help me to show him how much I appreciate him and to support him in serving the church
