My Man!

He is a man of very few words.  The silent type.  People often mistake this for rude, mean, insensitive, or apathetic.  But really, he’s just quiet.  He won’t say anything unless there is something that needs to be said.  He is comfortable in the silence…he is comfortable with who he is.  He is a man, in every sense and meaning of the word.  He is passionate about what he believes.  He is real.  What you see is what you get.  Authentic.  He doesn’t aim to impress, take it or leave it, he doesn’t really care.  He will give his shirt off his back, if that’s what you need.  He notices everything.  He observes better than he engages.  But don’t cross his line, b/c he will get the last word.  (or just shoot you in the face)

People are intimidated by him…they don’t know how to take him.  He doesn’t allow too many people inside…he is guarded.  He is wise.  And he is mine.  Others don’t see his heart, they judge what they don’t know.  But I know.  I see.  He is a giver.  He is a teacher.  He is kind and loving, the best husband and father I have ever met.  I am blessed.  Here is just a peek into his heart…

 

 

He is silly beyond belief!  Never serious!

He is a teacher.  He taught my ALMOST 80 yr old Memaw how to shoot a gun after they were robbed.  Next time she will be prepared.  He is so patient.

He serves his country with honor.  (And so good looking too)

They had to wade across the river to get to the REALLY good fishing spot!  Always an adventure with this man.  Always.

He was showing the kids a grayling.  They fished for hours this day.

He is kind and compassionate.  He loves hard and is faithful.  He loves the Lord with all his heart.  He may not be very verbal about it, but his heart is real, and he stirs MY heart like none other.  I think I’ll keep him, forever!
