MY Amazing wonderful man! My husband is a man of many talents and dreams... he is completely capable to....
- take care of himself (he did survive as a single man and in third world countries on his own)
-make himself food at any time of the day (he was a chef)
-make his own coffee (he has been a barista for many years)
-pick up after himself (he WAS a bachelor once!)
-plan his schedule
-take care of daily errands
-work enough to provide for us both (he has ALWAYS had a job, even if it was something to just scrape by)
-make his dreams come true (he did just fine without me...)
But what an honor it is to be his wife and to relieve some of these things from him. I love this quote from Luther "Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave." I have been overwhelmed in the past few weeks at how blessed I really am to be called his wife. He loves me diligently and passionately. He appreciates all the small things and the big things too. And he makes me laugh on a daily basis. I take it as a complete honor to love, serve and respect him in anyway possible. Do I really have to get up with him and make coffee and breakfast everyday? No... he is completely capable, but I do it with a joyful heart. Having the kind of relationship we do is not something to take for granted. And if I can do the small things on a daily basis I will count it all as gain! I am so blessed and am so thankful for this man! Thank you God for creating Jordan Patrick Cote!
10 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
15 She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her female servants.
16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
26 She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
27 She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
29 “Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
