Giving Thanks, Day 3


I am not always as thankful as I should be for the gift of my husband. It’s not easy being married to me! I am thankful for our conflict because it helps me see the places in my heart that are not as Christ-like as they should be. I am thankful for our love because it isn’t based on the emotion of the moment. I am thankful for the fun times we have together and with our family. Mostly I’m thankful he has put up with and taken care of me for the past twenty-two years! Poor guy. He’s married to a crazy, fiction-writing wife who hates to cook and clean. I really don’t think he understood what he was getting into all those years ago!

Thank you, Lord, for the gift of my husband. He brings me joy and helps me grow. I wouldn’t want to do life with anyone else.

Love your Thanksgiving posts, D'Ann. And I especially loved your transparency today. I do identify w/ the wonderful husbands we have who put up with us . . . although I can't imaging that this is much of a chore for yours. But novelists we are, and living in our own worlds sometimes might be a wee tedious at times for our spouses :-)
