Ultimate Valentine

I am blessed!

I know, I'm suppose to write nice things about my wife on Valentine's Day. But for me, I can, and often do, write or say nice things about my awesome wife Macy.

She is the most beautiful woman I know.

Her beauty is deep. It starts with an incredible physical beauty that attracted me over 20 years ago and still keeps me mesmerized. But Macy's beauty is much deeper than just physical. She is beautiful through her very core. Her personality is incredibly beautiful. Still to this day there is no person I would rather hang out with and enjoy life together with than my wife Macy.

But the secret to Macy's beauty comes from how close she walks with Jesus. She loves the Lord. And that love is evident in everything about her.

I am so blessed.

Your beauty should not consist of outward things like elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold ornaments or fine clothes; instead, it should consist of the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very valuable in God's eyes.

Proud of My Wife

Yesterday Macy jumped in her own "pit with a lion" (see earlier post Challenging Read & Challenging Read...Pt 2).

Yesterday she drove her dad to St Petersburg to the VA Hospital. That might not seem like a pit with a lion in it for most of us, but for her, this was a very big deal (pit). She does not like to drive anywhere out of Fort Myers (actually she doesn't even like to drive anywhere in Ft Myers). When we travel somewhere outside of Ft Myers by car, I do all the driving. So I was really proud of her for doing this.

Why did she do this? This is why I'm really, really proud of her. She is trying to reach out to her dad. She is trying to show unconditional love to him. You see, her dad left her mom and the kids when Macy was very young. It would be easy for Macy to be bitter. But she forgave him a long time ago, and although at times it is awkward, she is trying to show the love of Christ to him.

I love my wife. And I am so proud of her maturity in Christ and her willingness to follow Christ, even when it's uncomfortable for her. Way to go babe!!!!
