My Wife
by Jerry Ousley Last night after a long hard day at work and a busy week after work, I sat in my favorite recliner and glanced over at my wife, Debbie. The Lord in an instant allowed me to remember good times we had shared and all the years we have spent together. She has given me two very wonderful children and has taken time to make each day a special day for me. I realized, as I have every day for some time now, that I love her more than I ever have. I don't know how others view her or what they may think about her but I know that she is a precious jewel that is priceless and I wouldn't think of trading her for anyone or anything. To me she is the most beautiful woman in the world and I am the luckiest man in the world to be her partner. I don't want to take up your precious time here and bore you with my feelings but I have a need to say that it is important for us to look at our spouse in the light God intended. I remember the pranks she has pulled on me like catching me in the shower and dumping a full glass of cold water over the curtain, and the times she has dumped ice down my shorts. I remember the times we've laughed and the times we've cried and they are all precious to me because they were times of getting to know each other and learning how to get along. God placed us together and I am sure glad. According to God's word it is my place to long after her and want to be with her. We got married the old fashioned way; we didn't live together for awhile to see if we were compatible. We felt that God wanted us together. We trusted that feeling and made it work (with God's help all the way of course). It hasn't always been easy for either of us. We all have our quirks that irritate others, and we don't always make life easy for each other, but when a man and a woman have made that lifetime commitment in marriage then we should be willing to work together to make that contract successful. It always takes two. I know this hasn't been funny but I hope it has maybe stirred your heart a little and inspired you to work on your own marriage. That man or woman that you agreed to stay with "until death do us part" is a special person. It takes both of you to bring that special person found inside each of us to light. Trust me it can and will work in Jesus Name! Jerry D. Ousley is the author of ?Soul Challenge?, ?Soul Journey?, ?Ordeal?, ?The Spirit Bread Daily Devotional and his first novel ?The Shoe Tree.?
