Perfect

I know there is a God. I Know it, I feel it, I see him all around me. I can look into the past and see the ordering of my steps and God's Graceful, merciful hand showing me the way. I know there is a God. I know it. I know it because of the faces that I wake up to every single day. My wife and my three kids. They are simply amazing. It is difficult to even begin to describe how I feel about them. It is so perfect, so sublime, it is without question the most perfect thing in my life.

I know there is a God because they are there. I am so stupid, and as a young man I was even more stupid. I have made so many mistakes in my life it is amazing that I am here today. Some how, some way, I ended up with this incredible woman as my wife. God's hand of mercy extended an unusual amount of Grace to me the day we began our relationship. I cannot begin to tell you how perfect she is for me, how she completes my thoughts, how she knows my feelings. And beautiful, I have never met her equal. She is an amazing mother and we have beautiful children. And she loves. she loves God, loves me, loves our kids and the people around her with such honesty, tenderness and mercy. I know there is a God because I have ended up with a women like this. I could not have earned her, or have been smart, or cunning enough to woo her. I know there is a God. I see it in her face everyday. I know there is a God because she has stuck with me for 12 years.

I love her.

Happy Birthday Aimee!
