changes

So much change seems to be happening here at my house. I do not even know where to begin. First of all, things are changing the most for my sweet husband. For the past 4 1/2 years, he has been his own boss. He owns his own business and the Lord has blessed. But, recently, with the change in the housing market, business has slowed down so much so that it has become necessary for him to find additional work. Just when I thought that my love and respect for him could not grow anymore, he goes and does a thing like this! I have a friend who is listing the things that she is grateful for and right now, my hubby and his willingness to do the hard thing would be at the top of my list. We are getting up very very early to get him out the door these days and so I am looking forward to what the Lord is going to do in my life as I have early morning devotions with Him. My heart is swollen with pride that I have a hard working godly husband who will do whatever it takes to care for me. I have a renewed vigor for my job at home and look forward to seeing him walk through that door. It is a transition in that we would talk several times each day and if he wanted to take time off to stay at home or just putter around, he could do that. Now, we get to talk at lunch and when he gets home. It does make our time together sweeter though and so that is pretty good. I need prayer though because I want to continue to get up with him and help him get out the door and those of you that know me know that I LOVE my sleep. But so far, so good. Anyway, the Lord is so kind to us. I know this and I want to learn what He has to teach us through this time. If you have not thanked your husband today for all that he does to provide for your family, I would encourage you to do so. Maybe some of you work outside the home too, but still, you do not know how your words of encouragement might minister to your husband, I know they mean the world to mine. So, kuddos to you honey!!!!!!!!!!!! You are the best. I love you!
