What is it about this man I love so much,
his winsome personality or loving touch?
What drew me to him in the first place,
mere chance, coincidence, or amazing grace.
What makes a woman fall in love with her man,
some magical moment when he takes her hand?
Oh why should I question and wonder so,
when deep in my heart the answer I know.
Long ago before we met, God had a plan,
for this woman, and this man!
At just the right time to my surprise,
you looked at me with love in your eyes.
Through changing seasons, together we’ve grown,
and our love has simply gone on and on.
A wonderful father and grandfather you’ve been;
Sweetheart and husband and my dearest friend.

Beautiful, Glenda! Yes, God ordained that I would need to change my class schedule in the middle of the semester in high school–just so I could meet my husband, Gary!

Thanks dear friends, for stopping by.
You know I am still learning how to show appreciation for my husband. I had four widow friends look me in the eye a few years ago and tell me how each day is a gift and how I should often tell my husband how I appreciate him.
Dave’s reaction today, was “uh-oh, I’m out their for all the world to see”. Then he smiled and thanked me for encouraging Him in this way.
Bless you both!
