Monday Motivation :)

Should have named this post 'inspiration monday'

This is the man that inspires me...

Being an 'emotional type' myself... i am often 'all over the page'...and...

i need a firm but gently hand...to steady me :)

This man is both of those and SO much more...

He is...loving...thoughtful...unselfish...

calm...clever...honest...hardworking...strong...funny...not only a 'thinker' but a 'doer' too...

he makes a plan and gets the job done...he is more patient than i and i am rather patient... he keeps his word to one and all...he does not demand respect but he does earn it...and he will help others where he can...but he is not a push-over...although i do think he would do anything for me :) ...he knows the meaning of commitment...and shows the kids and i every day how much he values us...helping each one of us roll the boulders off our path...he is busy at work...busy at home...he has amazing energy and stamina...he will run circles around most men...no job is ever too big or too small... in short we all know he is ... 'there for us'... 100%

encouraging...[scolding sometimes]... trying to motivate us wayward ones...

This weekend was no different...and as we got on with life...he moved swiftly and uncomplainingly...

  from one chore to the next and then some...and i had a moment of feeling...

yes inspired...

 Edwin is an answer to prayers i said as a teenager...long before i met him...

Just before bedtime i used to go outside [because in nature is where i feel closest to God]

I would take a slow stroll down to the gate at the bottom of a long pathway...

 and pray... not only about my future husband but also for him...

that he would know God and be one of the 'good guys'...

  And then one day... out of the blue...

he was in my life...and i am SO grateful :)

I hope you all have someone who inspires you to be the best you...
