luckiest woman in the world
my husband works extremely hard. he gets up at four o�clock in the morning so that he can drive fifty miles to work and be there by six o�clock. he is an electrician for a construction company and i could never even fathom how physically demanding his job truly is. he has to climb scaffolding to heights unimaginable and twist his large frame into places that he should not be able to get into. he carries the load for many guys that he works with because they either cannot, or will not, do the work.
he works six and seven days a week so that one day, we will have a house that we are truly proud to live in. there is nothing wrong with the house that we live in now. but it seems to shrink every day. he handles all of the finances for our household, even though i have a job. the only thing i am responsible for is groceries. he even pays for janie�s daycare. this man is better to me than i deserve.
he comes home every night around six in the evening. he is tired. he is dirty. he is hungry. he just wants to sit down and relax for an hour before he takes a shower and lays his tired, weary body down to bed. janie loves to see her daddy come home. she races to the front door and yells, "daggy! daggy! daggy here!" her eyes sparkling the entire time.
why can�t we all look at life as a child does? why can�t we all leap for joy when someone walks through the door?
because life is hard. and for a 2-year-old, the hardest part about life is remembering which foot each shoe goes on. there are no mortgage payments. there is only home. there are no grocery bills. there is only food. there are no satellite bills. there is only weewa (dora) on the television.
i had a conversation with a friend of mine about faith a few days ago. she had heard about a man who had molested an 18-month-old little girl. she wanted to know where God was and why He could let such happen to a child.
she said it made her question her faith in Him.
but i do not question. there are many, many reasons i do not question Him. but the two most important ones are asleep right now in their cozy warm beds.
my husband is better to me than i could have ever imagined. he is a good hearted person who wants the best for his family and he works hard every day hoping to achieve his goal. my daughter is the center of my world. i could not imagine life without her. i would not even want to.
He gave them to me. i am more blessed than i could ever describe in words. i really am the luckiest woman in the world.
xoxo
tell me i'm beautiful...
