I'm thankful for 38 years
38 years loving the wife of my youth
38 years walking through life with my best friend
38 years of experiencing God's favor and grace
I was so young and clueless when I married Chris back in 1984
but I knew one thing--I needed God's help if I was going to be the husband He called me to be
And He has been my Helper
I'm thankful for His promise to respond when I call upon Him
I'm thankful God is faithful
thankful He is patient
I'm thankful for the paths God has led us down
life has definitely been an adventure
I'm thankful for God's word
for the instruction He gives to me as a husband
it's good to have a guidebook when facing the challenges of life
I'm thankful for the example of Jesus in loving His church
His life of sacrifice is the bedrock for making marriage work
I'm called to give myself up for Chris and nurture her
I haven't always known what that was supposed to look like
but I'm thankful God has been patiently teaching me
and thankful He continues to teach me as I seek Him
I'm thankful God has blessed Chris and me with children and grandsons
it has been a joy to all be together this Christmas
I'm thankful God has been my provider throughout the years
I'm thankful He knows my needs and promises to supply those needs
I'm thankful God is always present
thankful He walks by my side every moment of every day
where would I be without God?
so thankful I never have to find out
