Today is a very special day. She turns thirty! The woman of my dreams is thirty. I love it. I love you babe! Not a day goes by that I am not amazed at what God has done in and through you.
Your love has forever captivated my heart.
Your joy is positively contagious, and you light up a room with it each time you make an appearance.
The peace you carry, and spread everywhere you go, is unmistakably a direct download from the King and Master of creation himself.
Your patience with both me and our little ones seems endless and it inspires me. You amaze me even when you think you have poopy mommy days.
You are the second kindest person I’ve ever met (2nd only to my Father in heaven). Your constant soft answer turns away foolishness, and your tender heart directs the hurting to their place of rest.
You are unceasingly good. Your goodness knows no bounds. The way God is good to me through you spurs me on with great hope and expectation. You are an amazing life partner.
I cannot effectively express how completely I rest in your faithfulness. Your character is like steel, and is constantly in check with the Truth. No one is more trustworthy than you my lover.
Gentleness seems natural to you… you bring meaning to meekness not being weakness, but power under control. Any pretentiousness or frustration I may bring to you melts when I look into your innocent eyes. Your gentleness is evident to all.
Self Control, other than with Cadbury’s Eggs, will follow you all the days of your life because you are diligent in pursuing right usefulness (righteousness). It is negotiable whether or not you will ever show any semblance of self control with Cadbury’s.
I am forever swoon by your unending love. Each day that I live with you, incredible lady, you settle for nothing short of greatness. My heart still goes pitter-patter as I get lost… in you. I am so privileged to be the one you chose to live out all the days of your life with.
Proverbs 31:10-31
10 F60 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
I have found one… My wife is indeed, undoubtedly, indubitably a wife of noble character.
Love, you are worth far more than rubies. I praise little old (young) you. I pray your dreams become a reality this year. You destroy the lie that it is not possible to become the Proverbs 31 woman, and I trust every woman who reads this understands the ingredients are in them too. No one can do this on their own. Joy didn’t.
Thank you Father, for the delicious lover you have given me to spend the rest of my life with. She rocks.
