Homestead Haven Beginnings

My wonderful hubby!

Today I have been thinking how utterly blessed I am with my husband.  I called him to tell him that I am so impressed with him.  Not many women are able to stay home with their children, homeschool, have their bills paid, food put on the table, recieve fabulous gifts and be completely, loved and cherished by their husbands.  I told him that really he is something special.  I told him that even though he gets stressed and has to work many hours, I see God blessing him and his work.  My husband is self employed and is able to provide for not only the needs of our family, he goes out of his way to provide for our desires.  Even beyond that, he makes time to provide for us emotionally.  I had to tell him that for some reason, it dawned on me what a gift he is (duh...I know).  You know what he said??  Nothing for a moment...he was speechless, and this is when I realized that he needs to hear this all the time.  That is what I am here for...I am his helpmeet!  I can't do much by means of physically helping him, but I can help him other ways.  He is running a race for our family, and I need to be offering him that cool drink.  I need to be his refreshment when he has had a long day.  I need to encourage him and be his prayer warrior!!  Forget all his shortcomings, in the long run, he is doing so much so that his family can be blessed!  What an amazing man!!!  Our guys need to hear that they are special, that we know how hard they work.  My husband knows every little thing I am struggling with...I am a woman...I talk!!!!!  I cannot even begin to imagine what he struggles with because he has the heart not to want me to worry.  We can't wait till they are vocalizing their struggles, for a man, this may be too late!  We need to be anticipating it, uplift them...praise them...thank them...pray for them...interceed on their behalf...be the helpmeet God has called us to be!!

Okay, sorry,  I am now putting down the megaphone, and stepping off my soapbox.

Blessings, Rossie

Amen! Sometimes it's much easier to focus on the little things, like the way the socks always miss the hamper! and forget the big picture! Thanks for sharing this! It sounds like you have a wonderful husband. :)
