Praising The Mother of My Children

"Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies." (Proverbs 31:10)

I have - And her worth is far above rubies. She has loved me through many seasons in our 27 years of marriage, when a woman of lesser character would have taken another road. But this virtuous woman has; bore me two children, cared for them, trained them, provided for them, stood by them, encouraged them, sacrificed for them, been patient with them, corrected them, let go of them and has never ceased praying for them......or me.

I am so blessed to have Lori in my life - and fortunate too according to Pastor Romaine who once told me, "She doesn't need you. She has been doing OK on her own. Your no door prize, you might even be the "booby prize" for all I know. What makes you think you deserve her?"

My answer to this is the same as it was 27 years ago, "I don't.....but I'm working on it."

The Truth
"Her children rise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praises her." (Proverbs 31:28)
Happy Mothers Day sweetheart.
