I couldn't wait for Christmas

Yesterday when I came home from work there was a really BIG box on the porch. I thought it had to either be from Eden's Bouquet or it was the HOTY's Christmas present I ordered. Much to my surprise it was this & I cried as soon as I opened it. I knew when I saw it there was no way I could wait till Christmas to give this to my sweet husband. He has looked forever for the perfect thing with this scripture on it for our home, but just has never found the exact thing he wanted.

When I saw this on Angie's blog months ago, I saved it in my favorites, hoping he never saw it. I knew the minute I found out what we were having that I would order this for him. No, it is not the typical toolbox, game or piece of sports memorabilia that most men would want for Christmas...it is very different and so is my husband. He is probably the most loving, kind hearted, sensitive, compassionate, family oriented, sentimental man I have ever met in my life...along with my grandfather. Anyone who knows him would say these same things about who is and what he stands for in life. I was so excited for him to get home from work today, so I could give it to him. Of course when he opened it, I cried like a baby.

I can not even describe to you in words what it felt like for me to hold this in my hands and see Gavin's name on it. When I looked at it, I just kept thinking...my family is complete. This is all I have ever wanted and always dreamed of and it is mine and I love EVERYTHING about it.

Needless to say, Emma & Gavin's Daddy loved it too! There is no doubt in my mind that no matter how much time passes, how old our children become, that this will always be true in our home...As for me and my house we WILL serve the Lord.
