This Is My Beloved And This Is My Friend

I thank the Lord for my husband, who is my very best friend, my confidant, my shoulder to lean on and the first person I would choose to spend any day with. I have been so blessed by my husband these past two months in which he has been an especially loving servant to our family. I was very sick with my last pregnancy (my baby is now with the Lord after 11 weeks in Mamma's womb) and my dear husband arranged his schedule to work earlier so that he could come home earlier to help the children clean house, do laundry, supervise chores and help my daughter make dinner. He then spent time with the children, bought groceries, held family worship, and attended to whatever else needed to be taken care of (the list was long). At one point he became terribly sick with a flu, and stayed awake most of the night attending to our sick toddler two nights in a row because I just couldn't. The following mornings he got up and went to work, came back home and continued to serve us even though he had not recuperated from his flu in the least bit. I never heard him once complain and when I felt discouraged about my own situation he would pray for me, encourage me to rest and tell me to leave all the worrying to him. I couldn't have gone through this difficult time without the support of the husband the Lord has blessed me with. Thank you Lord for my patient and caring husband. I love you, Pappa!
