Something I miss...

Is this face.

I love his beard and it was grown at my request, but now I think I miss his face. I want to see all of it again. I can't wait for it to come back. I really, really miss it!!! He is just as hot with or without the beard, but I really miss that face.

I think my husband is so, so hot! The absolute hottest!

I really need to work on making him more my primary ministry, with kids it is so easy to just cast each other aside and get into a routine. Marriage really does take work and sometimes you don't feel like working...

I love, love, LOVE him and I praise God for placing us together. He is not afraid to rebuke me and encourage me. He tells me when I am sinning or when something I make looks like crap, so I have to re-do it again (argh!). He shares my love for all things creative. He really is a talented artist, but is so modest and humble that he will deny it. He puts up with my bad attitudes and my inability to be a good listener (he is a really, really, REALLY good listener). He works three jobs because he finds it important that I stay home with the kids. He researches everything, I mean everything, to make sure he is providing the best product (thanks to Consumer Reports) or service he possibly could for our family (that is why we still don't have a dryer... that is another story as the laundry continues to grow). He is the one who initiates praying together and going to conferences that would help further our love for God and each other. We are both sinners and works in progress, but I couldn't have asked for a more perfect mate to compliment me or vice versa. We are two sinners put together by God's grace to help further his kingdom through each other and our children. 
I love my Benny.

Are you crazy linda?!! marriage easy, yeah right! not to scare to you! but by God's strength and grace you take everyday and learn from each other. We fight, we get annoyed, we give each other attitudes, but there is always rebuke, confession, forgiveness and all made possible because of Christ. So yes lin, I can't wait for your one day!

I love my Benny too! I had miss his face too! I thank the Lord that he is such a caring loving and resposible husband and father.
I still think I am in dreamland when I see you, honey as his life companion.You have brought your faith,strength and unconditional love into this relationship. And I knew the first time we met you how Ben loved you. It was all in his eyes. I told him "This is the girl for you, her love is real and she will stick w/you through thick and thin". I knew his love for you was unconditional. God is good! His graces brought you together which was the first miracle. There have been other Truely Brave miracles that keep me wondering if I am still in dreamland. I love you honey.
