In honor of my husband Steve

"Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms." 1 Peter 4:10

 Once in a while you come across  someone who truly inspires you for the way they lead their life. 
When I read this scripture this morning my husband's face came  to mind and even though it is not Father's Day, his birthday or Christmas, I want to take the time and  honor him today.

Steve is a "doer' and has a beautiful servant's heart. See, he lost his job back in February. I saw him coming into the house with  the news and on the same breath he said: I am going to change clothes and go help Carl because his garage door doesn't work. Okay......

He has a heart for the youth. Back in South Florida he volunteered at Firewall Ministries tutoring kids after-school. He helped them with their homework, specially with math, algebra and calculus. Yes, he is an engineer, that's his profession. Here in Dothan he loves to visit Karen's class.

 He is my "private" security officer. When we meet at night at church for our card ministry he guards  the doors and makes sure no strangers walk in. He wears proudly  a "sheriff star" which I bought at the dollar store.

He is very talented with a sewing machine! I am trying to convince him to be our "Sewing Teacher" at Paper Moon.

He is  a great babysitter! Baby Lt loves him, specially when they play "ball'.

 He loves to help out at the Farmer's Market on Thursdays. He is there to set up and to tear down. He is there to pass out water to the vendors and to help them feel loved and welcomed.

 

 He loves tools! He can build a cabinet, a door, or an entire house! No job is too big for him.

And when he hangs something up...... it will not come down!!!!!!

He loves to build cars... pine cars, hot rods, etc, etc, etc.

He is a terrific tour guide! He took a friend of mine and I into an unforgettable tour of the city. He took the time to read about its origin, history and major attractions of Dothan.

He is a fabulous husband and provider and he makes me breakfast every morning!

He is a terrific father, always there for our children even though they are both married and live away.

He goes to early morning prayer (6 to 7 am) everyday with me. His favorite prayer is for the men of the church. He asks God to raise up godly men who will impact their homes, their cities and their nation. 

He is not perfect by any means but he sure is a doer of God's Word. Even though he is walking through a hard valley in his life right now, he has no "idle hands". Whatever comes into his hands he does. 


I love you Steve. Thank you for being you.
