One Terrific Guy

Isn't it funny how we always find things to complain about? I whine to God all the time about this and that. I try to make it not sound like a whine but when it really comes down to it, IT'S A WHINE! I whined so long and hard to buy a house that sometimes I wonder if this house we have is a blessing or if God was like HERE! STICK THIS IN YOUR PIE-HOLE! I pray with the children in the morning and at night before they go to bed. Not a big long prayer but just to keep us together as a family and keep us safe and any other concerns of the day. Maybe you think it's a coincidence that we are still together and safe. I believe it has been the prayer God was answering and I've taken it for granted. I have gotten the children so used to this bed time ritual that they will not go to bed until I pray with them! AND I complain about that! Some nights I am tired and really ready for them to just GO TO BED. I tell myself WHY CAN'T THEY JUST PRAY BY THEMSELVES SOMETIMES? One time I asked Katherine if she wouldn't like to say her prayers by herself. She told me, "It makes me feel more loved when you do it with me".
I enjoy picking on Roger. Especially now that I can pick on him to all of you. He read my blog the other night about "AUTISM and MALENESS" and laughed. But after thinking about it, I remembered how when I get bad customer service I sometimes complain, but I don't complement as often as I complain. Yeah, Roger drives me crazy. I'd be lying if I said he didn't, but let me tell you the top ten reasons why I am GLAD I married the guy:
1. He doesn't smoke
2. He doesn't drink
3. He doesn't gamble
4. He isn't into dirty magazines
5. He loves our children
6. He works like a dog to take care of us
7. He lets me be a stay-at-home MOM, even when things were really hard
8. He has a giving heart for others
9. He is really good with Gabriel, has patience to the MOON for him.
10. He believes in me when I tell him the next crazy expensive thing I want to get
into ie; Painting murals, photography(he paid for all my camera, computer ect..)
going back to school (3 times), breeding dogs...
That was the top ten. I have more BUT THAT'S PERSONAL! So anyway, next week when I am dis-ing him because of some MALE thing he did... Remember I still think he is a pretty terrific guy! Have you told that person, any person today YOUR TERRIFIC!? DO IT NOW!!! PASS IT ON ...
