God Gave Me You

One goal of this blog is to remember the important stuff. I have been wanting to post this for a long time. . . .

On Mothers Day this year, Jon was at work the whole weekend. He gave me a present when he got home Monday, it was a gift certificate for a pedicure. (which I loved!)

BUT, on Mothers Day, he sends me this email. It was awesome and heartfelt, telling me how wonderful a mother and wife I am and how blessed he is to have me. In the email he sends me a link to this song. He said it describes how he feels about me and how he feels about his family. I had never heard it before, but it was beautiful. The words are pretty powerful...and could apply to anyone in your life.

GOD GAVE ME YOU FOR THE UPS AND DOWNS
GOD GAVE ME YOU FOR THE DAYS OF DOUBT
WHEN I THINK I HAVE LOST MY WAY
THERE ARE NO WORDS HERE LEFT TO SAY IT'S TRUE
GOD GAVE ME YOU

This is my favorite part of the song.... These words really touched me, they describe how I feel about my marriage perfectly.

on my own
i am only half of what I could be
I cannot do without you
we are stitched together
and what love has tethered
I pray we never undo

So, this was my sappy post, which I don't normally do. This mothers day was really special. This Mothers day was the one where I woke up deathly ill and spent all the next week thinking I was dying of some bacterial infection. Turned out to be a baby instead. :) I was actually too sick to look at the email til late that night, I never got out of bed all that day. This will be a great memory to smile about later. :) I love that man.
