Today is my wife’s birthday. I won’t tell you how old she is today but it’s one of those milestone birthdays. I can tell you that she hasn’t really aged a day since I met her and that her beauty, charm and grace have done nothing but intensify over the years I’ve known her.
To my beloved Amy,
When the Lord chose a wife for me, He truly blessed me beyond measure. He gave me everything I thought I needed and then He also gave me everything I really needed too. It seems that almost daily I discover new things about you that both amaze and delight me.
When I think of you the word that most often comes to mind is grace. You’re graceful and beautiful in your mannerisms and movement. You’re graceful and peaceful in spirit and demeanor. You’re graceful and loving in how you deal with others, our kids, and me. Your grace, beauty and charm enchanted me the first time I saw you and I’ve been enamored and mesmerized by you ever since.
You cook, clean, chauffeur, shop, account, budget, wash, fold, care, tend, plant, water, read, sew, teach, instruct, guide, model, consult, pray, laugh, and love…and play the bass too. And, you do it all so well! Is there no end to your talents and abilities?
Waking up beside you each day is an amazing gift that I never take for granted. Thank you for sharing your life and who you are with me. Thank you for being my bride and my best friend.
Truthfully, I often feel like a clumsy neanderthal in the presence of a graceful princess when we’re together but this Beast truly loves his Beauty and you have filled my heart with a transforming love.
All of that to say…Happy Birthday, my precious Amy. I love you, my wonderful wife.
Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feliz Cumpleaños!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Que Dios te bemdiga con muchos mas.
