Let me count the ways

I am truly, truly blessed. I am sure that anyone who knows me can certainly vouch for that. I have so many blessings in my life that if I tried to number them it would take multiple lifetimes. I won't try to list them all but I want to talk about my wife on this Valentine's Day.

Trish is my Thang! As I have mentioned before, some folks take that as a derogatory statement but it is anything but. The book of Proverbs states that, "He who findeth a wife, findeth a good thing." So, Trish isn't just my Thang; she is my GOOD Thang! The second part of that verse is, "...and findeth favor with the LORD." GOD has certainly favored me with Trish.

So, what's so special about Trish? I am glad you asked. She is the perfect match for me, which only GOD could have created. I am not the easiest person to deal with and live with. Trust me, I live with me, I know. Yet, she overlooks all my faults and failures and loves me despite them. But, the greatest thing I love about Trish is the way she loves me. I don't have to do anything, yet, she loves me.

Today's word is a saying that goes, "Anyone can do something special and make you happy. But, only someone special can make you happy without doing anything."

I am happy to be with Trish even when we are doing nothing, especially when we are doing nothing. We can be doing absolutely nothing, sitting on the couch, and I am as happy as can be. I wish everyone could experience that.

The secret to love, as I have shared with our Youth group, is that true love is giving. If you have someone always wanting something from you, that isn't true love - true love is about giving. Yes, it is nice when someone does something special to show us their love. It is even better when we love that someone special, and they don't have to do anything at all; that's love!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
