A Good Wife

To the complete embarrassment of my wife, can I say publicly both “Happy Birthday” and “How did I get to be so lucky?”

Today is Barb’s birthday, the pretty one in this picture. She is here seen with one of her little boys.

It has been publicly reported that she is 23, but we all know that cannot be true. (We’ve been in Bradenton for 23 years, and she was older than 2 months old when we came.) No, in reality she is 32, but she has the wisdom of a woman much older. And the best thing is, given the time, there is still no one in the world that I more enjoy ‘hanging out’ with. What a blessing she has been to me.

The Proverbs ask, “A good wife, who can find?” It’s not so hard. By God’s grace, I wake up next to one every morning.

Happy Birthday, Barb. How did I get to be so lucky?

I know, it’s providence. A wonderful providence.

But I sure feel lucky to have been the beneficiary of such providence!
