Today is my birthday. 31 for any of those who are wondering...I'm good with that...not too old, not too young...still plenty of room for improvement :)
You might remember that the other day I mentioned Ben doing a guest post for me. After your peer pressure encouragement you totally helped me convince him. I will, from now on, be bringing you all to my side when I need to persuade anyone. Well done bloggy friends, well done.
Without further ado...my husband's first guest post:
Wow! Where should I start? Sarah doesn't know what she has done in letting me do a guest post for her birthday. I think the best way to honor her today is with a bullet point list.
Sarah, I love you because...
- Living in the parsonage is a lot more cozy with you at my side.
- You are a great multi-tasker, able to keep so many things going, clean, happy, etc.
- Generosity springs from your heart, one of the many things that attracted me to you.
- You love God more than you love me.
- You love Me more than our boys. (at least that's how I feel)
- As a mother you are caring, protective, responsive rather than reactive, positive and hopeful.
- Of the encouragement you offer to those who need it.
- Yes, you do have a sense of style that complements your personality and warms up a room when you enter.
- You have such a big heart for the people of tiny town and bloggy land as well.
Happy Birthday, Sarah
From your hubs and pastor

ReplyDeleteAlso, speaking of your sense of style, I was just looking through your photo albums and for someone from a tiny town you have the cutest clothes EVER! We are just in a small town and there is NO where to shop here!
Happy Birtday Sweetie! I will spend this day pondering in my heart the events of the day 31 years ago on a Friday evening at 7:29 p.m. when you entered this world.I was a scared 18 year old holding you, all I remember is that you were so little and beautiful and that you had a birthmark on your stomach that you would not like in your teenage years:) I love you so much!! and I thank God that at that time in my life just graduating from high school we chose to give you life. Thank you Jesus for my precious daughter and her husband Ben,as I look back you have been so faithful. Have a wonderful day Sarah love mom.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteBEN - you gotta be careful in using such heartwarming words - you're going to make all of us show our husbands and say "See? Men CAN do this." That was just awesome! You have an amazing wife - completely agreed. Thanks for posting today!!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great birthday present from your hubby. I would print it on some nice paper and frame it and place it on my night stand. (as a reminder) OR print it and put it in your purse, so it is always with you and you can look back when you need the boost.
Great post Sarah's husband/Pastor!!! ;)
