of all the things i don’t deserve..

i haven’t taken a shower yet. that means my hair is in full force and i have yesterday’s mascara smudged beneath both eyes, but he doesn’t care. i’m wearing an old swetashirt and pajama pants that i can’t even pretend go together but he looks right past them as he asks how my day has been so far. our house is messy. i’ve been sitting in front of my computer all week in between shoots trying to catch up, which means laundry and dishes are piled high. it’s really quite impressive how many plates are in the sink since i haven’t cooked anything besides a frozen pizza all week. he doesn’t complain. i realize that he even seems to have forgotten that earlier today i was short with him because mornings are not really my thing. that reminds me, i need to apologize for being so grumpy. he came home before he headed out to a lunch meeting to bring me a surprise. it’s not my birthday and our anniversary isn’t until december. a giftcard to my favorite store. just thought you could use a little treat today. he smiled, kissed my cheek and headed out the door. of all the things i don’t deserve, he ranks at the top. xo.

thank you for giving me him, an earthly reminder of Your beauty, Your graciousness, Your affection for me. God is amazing. marriage is proof.
