So tonight like most of the wives who's husbands are serving on the walk I miss my honey! I know he will be home in a couple of days and thank God because I am lost without that man! I met Rick when I was 16yrs old and have been in love with Him most of my life. He is kind and selfless. Rick absolutely comes last in all his decision making. He is fiercly protective of me and our boys. He says God gave him this family and he takes that responsibility seriously.
My life before Rick was tumultuous to say the least. I struggled with a deep depresion and I was being eaten alive by insecurities and feelings of not good enough. I had never known family in the sense of loyalty and respect. I had never been told I had value beyond my outer appearance. But this weird, funny, kind man thought
I was funny and smart. He saw a good heart that was covered by a hard protective shell and he was willing to slowly chip away at it. Now my heart melts for this man because I know I am safe with him in all things. I always wanted the family that he and I strive to give to our boys and that God has given to me. Psalm 68:6 says God sets the lonely in families. How good is that guys?! I ask how wonderful is it that someone as lonely and scarred as me was allowed such a soft hearted openely loving man to raise my precious boys with! He has instilled in our boys a sense of pride in being who they are he is consistently telling them how good they are because they are who God has created them to be. How like our heavenly father to be so pleased with His children being who they were created to be and not asking them to be a carbon copy of what the world wants them to be.
So all this being said I miss my best friend. My fellow freak of nature. And I am glad that after almost 21yrs of marriage God has blessed our bond and I am eat up with longing for my beloved! Not only do I love this man in amazing measure. But I also like him! I enjoy my time with him and could still spend half the night just being with him and talking and laughing! I pray the same is true for your marriage. If it's not pray for it and take steps to make this your reality. Always remember that marriage is hard work but you will reep tremendous rewards!
God bless and keep you, Ms. Jill

I love you Ms. Jill. I have been married 3 times looking for the kind of relationship you have with your husband. The missing piece in each was God. I haven't given up on the kind of relationship you have but next time I'll wait on God!
Amen sister!
