happy birthday wishes

Before taking that look back on July that I mentioned a day or two ago, I want to stop and wish my sweet husband, Steve, a very happy birthday!

Steve is a wonderful husband, father, and man of God.  I am blessed to be married to him!  (Friends, remind me of that whenever I might do that wifely thing and complain...)

Here is my birthday card's message to Steve (hopefully he won't turn out to find this too embarrassing):

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My Husband, My Love

There's a place I go

where it's safe to be myself...

There's a place I go

where happiness

and laughter live...

There's a place I go

where both everyday happenings

and secret dreams are shared...

It's a place

 of acceptance and understanding,

honesty and care...

It's a place called love~~

and whenever I'm with you,

I'm there.

Happy Birthday

Love Always
