I still can't believe my husband's radical life change! Each day, he makes my jaw drop to the ground and my eyes fill with tears -- "happy tears," as my toddler says.
Last night, my husband and I re-watched the movie "Fireproof" because my husband said he would have a different perspective now that he knows Jesus as his Savior! So we snuggled up on the couch and watched it together, crying "happy tears" nearly the whole way through.
And this morning, after we had knelt together in prayer before our Lord and after we had read more in the Book of Ezekiel, and after I had gotten to work and turned on my office computer, my husband texted to my cell phone these words:
"The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to His church; not by domineering, but by cherishing." He says his daily devotional came from the book of Ephesians 5:23.
And then he texted these words next:
"I'm looking forward to the journey that we have for the rest of our lives...till we meet God in Heaven!"
Boy! God is SO good! Far more amazing than I had ever imagined!
Maybe one of these days, I'll quit speaking of all of these marvelous things my husband is saying and doing...but maybe I'm just making up for all the times I whined and complained about him.
We are going to attend Wednesday night church service together as a family. The temperatures here in Montana are ten degrees BELOW zero currently, a blizzard has blown through, but we will warm up our frigid SUV, jump in, and drive to the warm, friendly southern Baptist church that is to become our new "home" and worship God and praise His name in fellowship with other believers.
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day and we are going to enjoy it alone. Normally, we have a house full of guests...and I LOVE that! But this year, I look forward to a peaceful, quiet holiday spent in our jammies and slippers as we play board games and sit around the dinner table enjoying our family's "new beginning."
