My love turns thirty five today. He is currently in Spain, spending his birthday planning and ministering on behalf of our church with hopes of starting some ministries there this summer. While absence forges the heart fonder, the many would-be hours spent with the one you love quickly converts to thoughts upon thoughts of him, and only him. Here are thirty five reminders (in no particular order) of why I love my husband. Happy birthday, babe.
1. He shows his love for Jesus in practice.
2. He gives THE best massages.
3. He reads The Chronicles of Narnia to the boys even when he’s tired.

Hi my love,
Thanks for the card. If I could add one thing to your list it would be that “He misses me horribly when he is away!” Have a fantastic day in the Lord.

What a sweet thing to write to your husband! I loved reading your list! I pray that you two will be reunited soon.
Ruth and Troy,

We miss you both, but are enjoying our adventure.
