Warning: Mushy Gushy Ahead

I just wanted to take this morning (before work blows up) to stop and gush about my sweet husband.  I have been working like a mad woman the entire month of October.  Last week I was in Chattanooga, this week I'll be in Knoxville, and next week I may just crash.  I have a pretty easy-going job, so this is completely out of the ordinary for me.   Insert awesome husband here. 

  I never realized how important it was to have a partner who is willing to jump in and pick up the slack when you're too busy to carry it. I'm a "I'll do it, don't worry about it" kind of person, but when I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off, it's good to know he will be there to help me when I forget to marinate the chicken for tonight's dinner, or to not be upset when I fall asleep on the sofa while we're watching The Walking Dead.    I am thankful that he understands how to communicate with my quality time loving heart.  Last Saturday, we had a full day of just relaxing, enjoying life together, and reconnecting.  It's so hard to be on the go all the time... especially for me.   

  Lord, I come to you with a heart full of thanks... for my job, no matter how busy it has made me lately... for my husband and his ever growing heart... for our life, and the ability to slow down and really take in all that you have blessed us with.  Thank you for blessing me with a husband who not only works so hard to provide material blessings, but also works so hard to help me when I feel like I fall short.  Thank you for his servant heart, and his willingness to let you mold him into the husband you know I need; likewise, I thank you for continuing to mold me into the wife Jackson needs.  Father, please help us to never be too busy or to lose sight of what it means to take time for ourselves, for our marriage, and our relationship with you.  We know that all good comes from you, Lord, and we are so thankful to see your will playing out in our story. Please continue to mold us, to help us grow, and to help us continue to love unconditionally. Amen. Sorry for the gush this morning, I am just feeling especially thankful, and ready to be home from my last trip this Friday evening with my sweet man.
