(like when we are hanging pictures and my brain has a built in leveler and it is an 1/8 of an inch off...redo) I always let him know that he is loved and appreciated. I wish every one could have a man like mine.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03212454004456092488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-6532609402167729652009-12-14T12:00:01.487-06:002009-12-14T12:00:01.487-06:00Excellent post.

I forget who is funding it all, who does all the actual holiday driving, and the hauling things down from the attic.Someone Being Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08984828094257765105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-46525799124888520792009-12-14T09:22:31.127-06:002009-12-14T09:22:31.127-06:00You know, we never really do think of Joseph.

I, like you, have a Godly husband -- and I could not have asked for a better gift! <br /><br />That said, I let him off the gift-giving hook this Christmas by suggesting that we buy ourselves a new flatscreen TV. He was thankful for the reprieve.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17054198318242454049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30016058.post-4373971959130893032009-12-14T02:06:42.533-06:002009-12-14T02:06:42.533-06:00So very true...our pastor did a sermon on this a w...So very true...our pastor did a sermon on this a while back. Of course we all know that He is not a God of coincidences, however, just as Mary was so carefully chosen, so was Joseph. I think this is often forgotten, or worse yet, unrealized. This is such a good reminder...thank you.Jackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14510119425951654908noreply@blogger.com
