Jean

Today is Jean's birthday! It has been both a mystery and a joy to see who she is, really is. When I am with her I find myself loving who she is, at the same time finding that who she is is someone completely new to me. I love her for who she is – both someone I know and someone that I am completely taken aback by because of beauty that I had never seen before which continues to be exposed. The best part of the day is sitting with her in the evening and just taking in who she is. Wow! – are the feelings that impress on my heart.

Happy Birthday my love!

Being Kissed in the Morning

I have been reading a lot on marriage. A LOT. Primarily because I am taking Dan Allender's "Marriage and Family" class.

Most mornings I am at my desk reading or studying before the rest of the family wakes up. When Jean wakes up on those mornings she comes in and greats me with a kiss. It struck me one morning what a gift of kindness and love those kisses are to me. I treasure them more now.
