The best words a husband can hear

In light of this post I wrote a couple of weeks ago concerning the temporary nature of marriage, I was incredibly humbled and delighted by these words of my beautiful bride, part of a poem she wrote to me for our fifth anniversary last week:

So when we come to the end of this life, and are no longer husband and wife

because we find ourselves before the only One whom we were made to adore,

please know this, my beloved, my friend: I’ll easily recognize His face

because you’ve daily displayed Him and positioned us under His sufficient grace.

With these words and in innumerable other ways, Michelle has made me a very happy husband.
