What a Woman!!!!

8 years ago today I got married to a beautiful, wonderful, smart, and caring woman.

Franca …

…is a friend who has always cared for me with honesty and love
…is a partner who has always looked out for my interests before hers
…is a ministry partner who has cared for the church and people in authentic and sacrificial ways
…is an amazing wife who has not merely complimented me, but often fixed my broken parts, shaped my flabby parts, confronted my selfish parts, and loved my unloving parts
…is a great mom who has the ability of bringing the best out our of our kids (Andrew and Julia); she teaches them, nurtures them, educates them, matures them, and disciplines them with supernatural ability – all in the context of true love for them
…is a gorgeous woman who attracted me from the day I started to take notice of her when she was 18 years old
…is still a gorgeous woman who attracts me at the age of 30
…is a whole person who is emotionally and spiritually mature beyond her years
…has taught me what it means to be content with the income and material possessions we have
…is my wife, friend, and partner.

Dear Franca,

Thank you for 8 years of love, honesty, patience, passion, friendship, partnership, and life to the fullest.

I love you!!
