I Don't Tell You Enough...

The younger you, before I knew you: If only I could watch and observe the child playing with beanie babies and action figures, being formed into the slightly older you that I would soon meet.

An inexplicable protection surrounds you, guiding you towards me and forming you into the man who would one day lead our family and become my best friend. You advance through life, naive to the dangers of this world and then collide with the Me who likes the cute You. And then we grow together in 
Faith
Love
Endurance
Patience
Friendship
Kindness
Gentleness

And, now, everyday I see you, I want to love you more. So I do. With such ease. 

God created us for great things and I don't know, yet, what all of those are. I do know that He created us for each other. He protected and formed us, not so we would complete each other, but so we would find ourselves complete, walking hand-in-hand in the fullness of Christ. 

I love you, my husband, Phillip Karl, and am so grateful for the privilege of having known you for longer than I haven't.
