Today marks 4 years of marriage for my wife and I. Time has really flown by fast for us. When I married Andrea I received from the Lord a double portion of Divine blessings. She is a Proverbs 31 type woman and thus deserves to be honored at the gates (and on the blog-o-sphere). In 4 years the Lord has seen fit to double our family (size) as well. It is a wonderful privilege and joy to note that my wife is every bit as good in her role as mother as she is in her role as my covenant companion. It is a bit intimidating being married to your best friend, hero, and lover but welcome to my world! “He who finds a wife, finds a good thing.” I’m praising God today for the daily companionship of my wife. She is my greatest earthly treasure!
Here are some lyrics to a song that brings tears to my eyes as I think about my Andrea (baby love).
“Walking Her Home" (Lyrics by Mark Schultz)
Looking back He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call
Her dad said son
Have her home on time
And promise me you’ll never leave her side
He took her to a show in town
And he was ten feet off the ground
(Chorus)
He was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home
Five more years and a waiting room
At half past one
And the doctor said come in and meet your son
His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling as she said he’s got your eyes
And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night.
Chorus
He walked her through the best days of her life
Sixty years together and he never left her side
A nursing home
At eighty-five
And the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said "Oh, Should we tell him now"
"Or should he wait until the morning to find out?"
"Or should he wait until the morning to find out?"
But when they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side
Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for a while they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home
Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call
