My Man

I am just feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for my man and I want to share it.

My man is a very, very good man. People frequently miss that about him - I think because he doesn't have a loud presence, you know. He's the type that will comfortably discuss the latest sporting event with folks but typically ducks out if talk turns to politics or religion. He's also somewhat of a peace maker, so if the conversation gets heated he might waffle a bit to try and appease everyone at the table. And so, in that way, I think he can become almost invisible to folks. He's the guy with the nice smile but you don't know too much about him.

But God has blessed me with the incredible privilege of seeing and knowing David. Specifically, David is the guy who quietly does the dishes while everyone else drinks coffee. He's the guy who is listening to what your saying and filing it away so that he can surprise you with something thoughtful for your birthday.

For example, David knows exactly what all of my friends like to drink. Not because they told him, but because he watches. And, if that wasn't enough, without being asked goes to the grocery store and has it waiting for them if they are coming to dinner. Does he mention buying it just for them? Nope. Just lets them assume it's always there.

What kind of man does that?!? My man.

David loves in this sincere. quiet way and people totally overlook it and take it for granted (one of those people is me sometimes!), but he keeps on loving them (us) anyway! I have such an incredible amount to learn from him.

Thank you God for putting David in my life. I love him so. I love you, too.
