I just love this man....

Posted on Tuesday, January 29, 2008 at 03:13

Then the Lord said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by her husband.... Hosea 3:1            Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, Eph. 5:25

I don't often brag on this man but I want to for just a moment.  He is the best most godly man I have ever known.  With that said, I did not sleep well lastnight.  I think it was because I had a Diet Coke about 4:30 yesterday.  We have given up caffeine and I think it kept me up.  Anyway, usually I get up and fix DH's breakfast and lunch every morning.  Well, he knew I did not sleep well and left me in bed.  He is so good to me.  I wish he had gotten me up, because then I always feel bad that I did not serve him properly.  Ofcourse, then he did not have lunch to take so I went up to the office to go take him out to lunch.  Well, he was the only one there and they have an inmate who comes to clean up.  He could not leave the inmate alone at the Armory.  So I decided to go get us lunch and take it back.  Well, the inmate needed lunch also.  A lot of times he will pay for whatever someone will get him.  Anyway, Dh said just pick him up something, because God calls us to give.  Now keep in mind it is a treat for us to eat out much less buy someone else's.  I thought it was such a kind thing to do.  Granted it was only an extra $6.50 but that is alot to me.

This is a man who has been in prison for 10 years and he has been cleaning DH's armory for about a year.  During this time, Dh has really tried to be a witness.  I just pray that it has worked.  He told me today that he is not going back when he gets out in 4 months.  I pray he doesn't.  He has a 13 yr. old boy and a 16 yr. old boy.  They have never had a father and I am sure need one.  I pray that these next 4 months will be a time that God can use DH to be a great witness for Jesus to this man.

As for DH, I don't show it enough or say it enough but I am eternally greatful that God gave this man to me. 

Blessings,

Trixi

Ok....am I losing my mind here? When I clicked on your comment here to read what was already said, it popped me straight over to another blog...a stock template, with the all white background and the farmhouse along the top.....nothing of your colors or graphics or anything Trixie at all.

I'm not insane, right? Someone else saw it right?

Oh, btw, I'd have to agree you are beyond blessed with hubby there. Of course, mine's no sloucher either. Good thing there was more than just one to go around, heh?

I will pray for this young man and pray that your husband or whomever can be a beacon of hope for this person so that he may find JESUS, if he hasnt already, some folks have Jesus but have not found others who share that same love that Christs commands us to be, and so for folks like them its their way of testing to see who is a true follower.
