In a Man . . .

What does a gal look for in a man?

Maybe that he's handsome?

smart?

that he can grow a strong manly beard?

that he loves his Mama and makes her proud?

how about that he'll be there for you when you are weak and afraid?

 or that he loves your daughter well?

that he keeps her warm when she is cold

that he teaches her things like non-commutative algebraic geometry . . . 

and how to wash the dishes . . . 

or how to study the Word of God

that he can be fun for her

that he will carry her

that he will be big and strong for her when she is small and vulnerable

and mostly that he will always love her, because she is Daddy's little Princess.

I don't usually like to brag on him too much, cause he hates it, but today is his birthday, so I have to confess - I have all of these things and so much more in my husband, Manny.

My love, my gratitude for you reaches a depth you will never be able to comprehend. I signed up to be married to a really good guy, and I got an amazing Man instead. The husband, father, and friend that you are for me brings such sweet glory to God. I love you and I hope you have a happy birthday!
