My husband recently turned the big “40” this past May. We were out of town for this momentous occasion and I wanted to be sure that family and friends would send a greeting or blessing his way. So I sent out this note to many people in his life. The response was a wonderful blessing to him. We have great gratitude for all of you that God has placed in our lives, through his Sovereign plan. Many people dread birthday’s because it feels like they are getting older and life is passing by. I want to share what Mike’s response was which I thought was precious. He said with a big smile on his face, “Honey, it’s great, I am one year closer to my destination, that is, one year closer to the city of God,” meaning eternity, forever with Jesus.

Thanking our Great and Glorious God for the work He is doing in my husband:
1.) I am so blessed to have a husband who loves God’s word more than life itself.
2.) I am so blessed to have a husband who pursues purity and holiness.
3.) I am so blessed to have a husband who cries out for the salvation of his children, family friends and strangers.
4.) I am so blessed to have a husband who when his wife accidently closes the garage door on his car, he responds with, “honey it is just a car, our treasure is not here on earth but in heaven”.
5.) I am so blessed to have a husband who says to me each day, “honey, what can I do to bless you?”
6.) I am so blessed to have a husband who tells me everyday, that he loves me and is so thankful for all that I do and thanks me for being his wife.
7.) I am so blessed to have a husband who loves to give to those in need and has a passion for the gospel and those in need.
8.) I am so blessed to have a husband who is quick to forgive and extend grace when I least deserve it.
9.) I am so blessed to have a husband who loves God’s word and encourages my fainting heart with truth and scripture.
10.) I am so blessed to have a husband who loves JESUS most of all!
These are only ten…I am sure I could easily make it to “40” reasons of God’s blessings I receive through my husband, but I will stop there.:) Thanks for letting me boast for a moment is God’s goodness alone-through my husband. It is a gift from God, for we believe from Him and through Him and to Him are ALL THINGS…even the gift of my husband. God does all the work and gets the glory!
Much love and joy,
Jolee
