This is one of the more recent pictures of my husband. I post it this Thanksgiving Eve because I am more thankful for him THIS evening than I can remember being for a long, long time! We are hosting Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow in our home. I have been unable to do much more than roast the turkey, make a pumpkin dip, and pick up a few odds and ends around the house. I've done a load of wash, made the gravy, and prepared the liquid for the stove top stuffing I will make tomorrow.
As I write, he's cleaning the garage where we plan to set up two large tables to accommodate tomorrow's crowd. He has carved the turkey and it's covered in the refrigerator, ready to be heated up tomorrow. This leaves us room in the oven for the ham and other hot dishes we'll need to prepare tomorrow.
Anything that I ask, he would do it for me. In my weakness, he is strong. He has loved me faithfully through many ups and downs, and in the current health challenge I'm facing, he is being particularly sensitive and helpful. I am unusually blessed.
THANK YOU, HEAVENLY FATHER,
FOR MY STRONG, KIND, and LOVING HUSBAND.
Your husband sounds just like mine. I
ReplyDeletetell everyone that Kim is the kindest
man who ever walked the earth other
than Jesus. He does anything I ask of
him and is always more than ready to
help with housework should the need
arise. He is the most wonderful dad
to our two sons and always has a kind
encouraging word for everyone. Most
importantly, he loves Jesus with all
his heart.
Have a wonderful day tomorrow and I'm
glad you were able to do some things
in preparation for your dinner tomorrow.
Blessings,
Sandy
I sure can identify with you! Ken called on his way home from work to see if I'd forgotten anything at the grocery on Monday.
ReplyDeleteHe patiently made his way around Meijer and dealt with all of the construction traffic to Jamison's on Dupont Road where he found a gluten free turkey breast for me to roast tonight and take along tomorrow.
I'm almost done--just need to frost and decorate my mother-in-law's "turkey birthday cake." She will be 87 on November 26! I made her one of these years ago and she loved it.
Ken helped me out so much and w/o complaining the year I was down with my broken feet. We are truly blessed with great guys!
Try to get a good night's rest and enjoy your housefull tomorrow!
Hugs,
Rosa

ReplyDeleteRebecca,
ReplyDeleteRejoicing with you over GOD's priceless provision of such a loving, supporting husband.
I too am so thankful for the wonderful husband HE's given me!
Thanksgiving blessings to you and yours!
May the time with your guests warm your heart and many this experience with shingles be over quickly. ((HUGS))
Rebecca, I do hope wellness has taken over and you and your family enjoy a Wonderfully Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteYou are indeed blessed! So so sorry you are suffering with those shingles. Praying it will heal up soon. I'm amazed you can do Thanksgiving dinner in the garage. It is 37 degrees here and pouring rain. Though my health challenge is nothing compared to what you are going through right now, I'm having another allergic reaction to something unknown. Face and neck swollen and itchy...and our photo appt is Sat! I pray the Lord will grant you a beautiful day with family and friends and that your pain will be minimized. Blessings to you and Gary this day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Rebecca to you and your family. I was so blessed by this loving tribute to your husband. My husband is like this and I am truly thankful for him too, When I had shingles earlier this year, he just stepped in and ran our home so well. God is so good!
ReplyDeletePraying you will be completely well soon. Enjoy this day with your family.
Much love,
Sue
Beautiful post and beautiful tribute to Gary! I'm sure he feels just as Blessed to have you. A loving heart attracts loving hearts.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my prayers.
Enjoy your family/friend gathering, it sounds like it is going to be wonderful!

Love and Prayers,
Eileen
I know that you have always had a great appreciation for Gary. You are amazing to still have Thanksgiving at your home and prepare so much food when you are in such pain! May this day bring some special blessings--even more than other Thanksgivings to you. Love, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWe are both blessed to have such wonderful and understanding husbands Rebecca. Especially now, I hope you are doing alright? I keep thinking about you and hoping that the medicine is working for you. It's a wonderful thing to have a spouse who understands and really steps up when we need them to.
