I have been blessed with a lot of great things. I have a Lord and Savior that has given me so much that I don't even know how to begin to thank Him. I have two beautiful children who are the lights of my life. I have awesome parents who love and support me and raised me to be the man that God has shaped me into today. I have a good job that provides well for my family. I also have some great friends who have stood by my side and been there to mentor me when I need help, which sometimes seems like a daily chore... I also have been blessed with a wonderful, godly, forgiving, loving and extremely beautiful Wife!!!
My wife has stood by me through thick and thin. Through times when most women would have told me to hit the road and never come back. She dealt with a man who had a violent temper and was prone to taking out his anger on strangers. She dealt with some of my verbal abuse, because she knew I would never physically abuse her or our children. She dealt with a husband who wanted to be an "outlaw" biker so bad that he was willing to sell his soul to the devil. She dealt with a husband who would go out riding his motorcycle and drinking, not knowing if I would return home or if I would be shot, killed in a bike wreck or thrown in jail for a bar fight or a DWI. She never knew what the next phone call would bring when I went out riding with my club brothers. She stood by me as a friend when I went through a nasty divorce that sent me spiraling into a depressive state of drinking alcohol and popping pain killers. She dealt with our financial situation when I was not making much money and we could barely pay the bills. She loved me and saw the good in me when everyone told her to run away from me and never look back.
Not a day goes by that I don't thank God for her love and for the changes she made in her life that have helped me to get where I'm at in my life. She prayed for me every day and asked God to deliver me from the destructive lifestyle that I was living. She stood strong and continued to go to church and seek after God and sought after wisdom from women at the church on how to deal with what I was doing to our family. She never made me feel like I was a bad man or that I didn't deserve her love, even though I know I didn't. She ignored all the naysayers and kept praying and kept loving me no matter what. She was so happy when I decide to recommit my life to the Lord and she has helped me grow in my walk with Him every step of the way. I'm so grateful that God has given me such a great friend, lover, soul mate, my biggest supporter and the mother of our wonderful children. I pray that God will help me to continue to be the husband and father she needs me to be and that God richly blesses her for her patience, obedience and love. Thank you baby, I love you so much. Above all else I say thank you God for giving me this wonderful woman.
Proverbs 31:10 (NLT) Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is more precious than rubies.
