Let Me Count the Ways

February 13th, 2014 by Aubri

Husband,

It’s sometimes hard for me to find the words to tell you how much I love you and why I love you. I love you because you are my husband but also because of who you are. I know we can marry “anyone” but anyone else would not have been you and I am thankful that God gave me you.

Why do I love YOU?

I love you because you are committed to what is good even when it isn’t an easy path. This is getting very hard to find these days. It serves you well as a pastor and head of a family. I know it can’t be easy especially if you make a decision that is right, but not liked. I know I can count on you to be strong in your decisions and not blown about or pressured into those that are not wise. Thank you for being a man of your word and committed to God’s Word and Truth.

But enough of that, on with the post that got WAY too long so now it’s a 2 parter.

This Fall I read Family Vocation: God’s Calling in Marriage, Parenting and Childhood by Gene Edward Veith Jr. I recommend it. He made some very comforting points in his chapter on The Office of Motherhood. I wanted to share a few.

I also wanted to talk a bit of what I’m learning in my office of mother. I don’t consider myself a fount of wisdom, I’m still very much in survival mode of parenting (maybe that never changes….), in the trenches of life with littles and just trying to figure it all out. But for what it’s worth I thought I’d discuss a few things I’m being taught in this vocation.

This post may be more helpful for the overwhelmed Mama…. Read the rest of this entry »
