Creative husband

In my reading for today, I was supposed to praise my husband for his creativity. That was an easy one for me. I don't think I've ever met a more creative man than my husband. He is artistic, musical, designer, cook, builder with beauty in mind. Very creative. I told him today that he was the best husband in the whole wide world and he chuckle and repaid the compliment.

This challenge is definitively helping me to be more aware of him. Of who he is and what he does. Of how hard he works with his hands and body to the point of painful backaches.

In the midst of our season in life of pruning our kids I must continue to remind myself that my marriage needs watering. Daily little reminders of each other's presence facilitates to walk this life joyfully, knowing that we are not alone in this endeavor, that we can vent with each other about stuff, and know that our vows are kept not only because we are dutifully committed to them but because we desire to keep them, enjoying each other's presence, conversation, and fellowship.
