Since Father's Day is this weekend I thought it would be appropriate to write a little about my wonderful and faithful husband, Trevor. Good men are in short supply but somehow I managed to snag myself one. I know it was not by my own doing but by the Lords hand. God saw me and knew every hurt and every need and brought Trevor to me. I am so thankful.
He is not overly romantic or sympathetic or patient. He does not bend over backwards to meet my every desire or worship the ground I walk on. He didn't offer to run out and fulfill all of my cravings I had during my pregnancies (If we happened to be passing by an Arby's he might offer to stop & get me the shake I had been talking about). But he is real. He is honest and hardworking. He plays with our kids for hours on end with a smile on his face. He relates God to them in everyday life. He can make me smile like no one else. He puts our needs and wants ahead of his own and everyday he makes sacrifices for us silently. He is a man with integrity which is in very short supply in this world we live in. I know he loves me, he shows me and tells me everyday. I know he loves our two beautiful kids and that he is commited to raising them in a God honoring way. I am glad there is a day set aside to honor Fathers but I will try to show my love and respect for my husband everyday, he has earned it.
Happy Fathers Day, Trev. And Happy Fathers Day to all the other Dad's out there who do so much for their own families. Who tuck them in with stories of Jesus & give piggy back rides and divvy up the change in their pockets at the end of the day. The world needs more of you.

Deut 6:5-7 says: "Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
