19 years ago...

19 years ago I became your wife...

Only looking back now I realize I first loved you for all the wrong reasons.

I was so young, lost, scared, alone and confused... desperate to find my place in this world.

But we found it...

together

in our saviors arms.

It hasn't always been easy

as the Lord has pruned us, changed us and taught us His ways.

Because what I have come to realize is that

it isn't

romance,

riches,

physical beauty,

or prestige

that makes my knees weak and makes my heart beat faster when you walk into the room...

it's the way you lead our family,

the way you defend the orphan,

the way you teach our children,

the way you love your neighbor

and the way you put God above all else

that makes me fall in love

with you

all over again.

Thank you for that.

Thank you for sharing your life with me

and for the privilege of being your wife.

I love you

to

the end.
