Many days have come and gone before then and since then, but on this day in 1962, God purposed a “helpmate” for me; someone to love me when I am unlovable; someone to comfort me when I am stressed or hurting; someone to remind me of my duty to be a servant when I forget. But more than that, my wife brings joy and music and laughter to our house. She is a confidante and counselor to our children. She is a role model for our beautiful daughters. She is the resident expert on human interaction. As compassionate as she is beautiful, as wise as she is understanding. With a heart as brilliant as gold, as big as Texas, as soft as a cloud, and as steadfast as Gibraltar, she is truly the most amazing woman I know. I thank God, for giving me such a precious treasure.
Happy Birthday, Heather.
