You know what is HOT?

A man who LOVES his wife!


Often times I miss moments to give thanks because I am not looking for them.  I am too busy, mind is preoccupied, and I have a thousand things on my to do list.  All the while, I miss the moments to appreciate who he really is.  He's not perfect but he's real.  He's not here to please the world but he is here to please his Father in heaven and his actions make that evident.  He is my husband and I do adore him, but does he know that?

SO MANY TIMES - I peak out the window or step out to watch him working outside, sweaty and all, straw hat on, singing at the top of his lungs jamming out to some David Crowder - I notice the JOY he exuberates even if he is just mowing the grass or working in the garden.  This is one of the many things I admire about him - his pure & JOYFUL heart, even as he works in the hot sun. 

Of course I have snapped many pictures so I could remember these moments and even how good he looked. He ALWAYS grins from ear to ear when he knows I am watching him - that always gets him giddy.  I think of all the times he actually has NO idea I am watching him though?  Not to mention, why do I not LOOK for these moments to adore him more?

 

A wife can look into a moment and see more of her husband if she wants to but it requires looking.  When I stop for a minute and think about my life with him, I am one blessed woman.  And I may be a lot of things, but unloved is not one of them.

He shows me he loves me like this:

• It’s the extra stop on the way home to bring me my favorite drink or pick up a couple of items at the grocery store.
• It's his desire to fix whatever is wrong even when I don't know what that is OR his desire to understand me even when I don't understand myself.
• It’s the meaningful eye contact over a crowd of people.
• It’s offering to rub my back without even asking and if I do ask, he joyfully accepts.
• It’s one hand in mine, the other uplifted to God on a Sunday morning.
• It’s watching him love Jayden. 
• It’s catching him folding a load of laundry or putting his things away because he knows that rocks my world.
• It's seeing how he is never too tired to get back out of bed at night to get me a glass of water or milk.
• It's how easy he is to please at dinner time.
• It's the extra time he takes to make the bed on a crazy morning.
• It's the fun note he leaves inside the refridgerator.
• It’s forgiving my grumpy attitude before I have a chance to ask.
• It's knowing without a doubt that I am the only female in the world that captures his eyes and his heart.
• It’s noticing his love for Father, His word, and leading our family spiritually.

It’s so easy in this life to name all the things our husbands don’t do. And most days we could pick them apart if we wanted to.  Trust me, I do this all the time.  We can always find something when we look closely. But when I begin to count all the things he does, day-in-and-day out, the list grows long.  Really, really long. 

There is nothing quite as HOT as a man who loves his wife and let me add to that...

BECAUSE ultimately that LOVE is out of a heart to glorify our Father in heaven!

My man is definitely HOT HOT HOT!

 

...and I am LOVED!

Flowers & jewelry are great BUT I prefer how he tells me a thousand ways without buying a thing or saying a word.

Let's not miss looking for ways to adore our husbands and give thanks!
