I always wanted a boyfriend in high school. I was just blessed with lots of guy friends and they were wonderful. My good friend, Karen, always told me to not worry because when I met him…he would be “the one.”
She was right.
Joe MacDonald came into my life when I was 19 years old. A lot has sure happened over the years. Careers, children, hemophilia, ministry, the loss of our parents and all the love and grief in between. But here I am, 51 years old, still happily married to the love of my life. I am still walking beside the man who has seen me at my best and when I have been at rock bottom. How in the world did I get so fortunate? What have I done to be blessed beyond measure?
What I do know, is that not a day goes by that I wake up and give thanks to God for having this amazing man in my life. He’s not only a wonderful husband, but when it comes to being a dad, he is the absolute best. My sons and I can never doubt that he loves us with every ounce of his being, and that is something that a lot of people do not have in their lives.
For every day that I wake up next to him, I will continue to give thanks to God for blessing me.
Happy Birthday, Joe. You are loved.
