choosing to remember...birthday blessings

i've heard before that forgetfulness is one of the chief enemies of the heart. amazing how much i tend to forget things. my memory becomes more selective with age.

but tomorrow, august 8, is a special day that i will choose to do much remembering.

melody's birthday is august 8. this will be a day to celebrate her and her beauty. so, in the spirit of remembering which spurs gratitude, let me celebrate my bride...

*her outer beauty only reflects the inner glory of her heart
*she is pregnant with our 3rd child and looks amazing and beautiful
*she holds the key to my heart
*she loves me in a way that humbles me
*i admire her courage and strength
*i love the way she leans on me and trusts me
*together, i think we make a great team
*she nurtures and tenderly guides our boys
*she puts up with a lot of my weird qualities (not that there are many)
*she boldly shares her story of brokenness and God's redeeming power
*she makes me want to love God more

Happy Birthday Mel...i love you deeply and always!!!
