A Beautiful Site...

I agree with John Piper who said in a message, "Every day that you don't wake up in hell is a great day" I know what I deserve & what I don't. I am also learning WHY God delights in giving...because the giver gets the glory. I know you're probably wondering what the above pic has to do with my theological rambling...well I'll tell you:
My dear wife INSISTED on the family taking this pic on our last evening on our way cool vacation. No one wanted to do it but she pulled the mommy card & we all came under conviction & cooperated. This very pic is the ONLY one of all of us together in our travels & it also happens to be my favorite. Here's the connection: I don't deserve my wife & I know it. On her worst day (& she's had them) she is still light years ahead of me. She's taken a pretty tough stance around our house lately & we've all been kind of watching to see is its for real. Well, it is. I am amazed at her utter wisdom & tenacity. She has inspired me to be a better husband and father without one word of nagging. She's done it by her example and she probably doesn't even know it. I thank God for the privilege to have Elizabeth for my completer. As you should know by now, I don't believe in luck or happenstance. God gave her to me plain & simple. Like most of His gifts, I didn't realize what I had at first & I'm ashamed to say how long it has taken me to realize what jewel of a woman she is. Nope, I don't deserve her...that's called grace.
