My Wife
The Lord has given me so many blessings and gifts throughout my life: health, happiness, and the ability to play praise songs to share with His beautiful children every Sunday. I can keep going on! One of the greatest gifts He's ever given me is my wife. Waking up next to her every day is like my personal heaven. I believe that God has a way of protecting and speaking to us through life by channeling through our spouses. She loves me so much that He knows He can go through her to reach me when there are times that I am not listening. Yes, at times I don’t listen. Not that I am challenging our Lord, but I get so caught up in things that are just materialistic stuff and forget to just breathe. Most, if not all, can relate. So, when the door in my so-called brain is shut, she always has the key to get in and pull me out of whatever struggle I am going through.
In return, it's not a job but an honor to give back. All my love, trust, and protection I give to her. I will treat her with understanding. She is my equal partner in God’s gift of new life. I will treat her as I should, so my prayers are not hindered (1 Peter 3:7). I did leave one sentence out of that scripture, “She may be weaker than I am.” I find that very hard to believe. Now, if we are talking about strength, NO WAY!!! Gentlemen, have you pushed out a baby lately? That’s the closest thing a woman can come to death—giving birth. Of the mind, my wife stops and thinks before she springs into action. She has about a 98% success rate too (me, 75%). Yeah, I’m bragging about my wife! You men should too. She is the greatest gift that God can give us men! Why? Because she is a gift who can bear more gifts that God blesses us with. Children.
So, behind every man is a great woman. Not to do as we say, but to catch us if we ever fall back. She is my comfort blanket, my treasure, the one I wouldn’t even hesitate to die for. She is my blessing that I get showered with every day! So, men, let your wife be a fountain of blessings for you. She is one of the greatest gifts God can give you! Thank you so much, God, for this gift! Thank you so much, Christina Boast, for your gift. God is GREAT!
