HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME AND DENNIS!

Today is my 28th Wedding Anniversary! What a blessing! I can hardly believe that the years have flown by so fast!

I want to take just a bit of your time today as I tell you about my wonderful husband, Dennis. He has got to be THE most patient man on the face of this earth! Honestly, to stay married to me for 28 years he has to be! Seriously, Dennis is such a great and godly man. He is the perfect example of being a servent leader in the home. There is not a thing that he won't do to serve me and our children.

Here's a a very graphic and real example of that... Several weeks ago our daughter had a violent stomach flu. She woke me up at 2 AM telling me that she had thrown up all over her room.. I went in there (I'm even gagging now) and almost past out from the smell ... I couldn't clean it up.. I woke up Dennis and he so graciously got up, cleaned it up, shampooed the rug while our poor daughter is feeling horrible with high fever and I'm in the hallway gagging and whining like a baby that it smells so bad. haha! I'm such a woosie! But he never complained, he never was upset that I woke him... What a guy! ( this is just a small example of how sweet he is.. there is not enough time or space on this blog to list all the ways that he has served our family)

But, that's just a small example of how wonderful he is. He spiritually leads our family by his example. The first thing he does every morning (after he makes the coffee) is sit down to read the bible and to pray. He prays for me, the kids etc.
He loves Jesus. He serves the Lord in our local church. He loves me! :)

I respect and love Dennis deeply and I am proud to be his wife. The years haven't all been easy but we are in this together until the Lord calls us home. And the beauty of it all is that we WANT to be together for all time!


Lord, I thank you for Dennis. I thank you for giving this man to me, to lead me, to walk through life with me. I ask for you to pour your blessings over him. You know the deep desires of his heart Lord and I ask that you hear and answer his prayers. I pray Lord that as you continue to draw near to Dennis, that He would continue to draw near to you. I pray that you would lead Dennis into an ever deeper love and intimacy with yourself. I pray that He would continue to seek to glorify you in all things and I pray that Jesus would remain his greatest treasure. Lord, thank you again for 28 awesome years with Dennis and I look forward to all the years that we have left together. Thank you Lord that Dennis loves you. Thank you that Dennis seeks your face. Thank you Lord that Dennis loves your Word, that He loves prayer. I pray that our sons would be like their dad. Help me Lord to be the godly wife that I should be for Dennis. Help me love him and respect him more and more each day.Help me to help him be the man of God you want him to be. Do not let me be a hindrance to him Lord, but a help. Thank you for this man, Lord. Thank you for this anniversary day! In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME AND DENNIS!
