Finding My Stride in Life

My life is better because...

This is a hard one for me because my children and my husband are such an integral part of my life, and they each do something that brings me a sense of joy and happiness. However, I must say that the one person who has really made my life better because I've known him is...my husband. Yes, that's right. If you've read my blog at all, his name is threaded in my posts quite often. Well, when I choose to write, that is. So, just what is it about him being in my life that has made it different, you may ask. I can cite a few things to help you understand.

Before I met him, I was a lonely person who questioned herself because I had no friends. Outside of school, where there were the few obligatory conversations, I didn't have playmates. Then I grew older and into my teens. The same thing continued. Finally, we moved from our hometown of St. Louis to a town in Indiana. I met him within months at my first job ever. We talked, realized we had MUCH in common, started dating and were married a year later. This was 21 years ago. If I hadn't met him, I just don't want to speculate on what might have happened.

Our children, who I have because of my husband and our marriage, have brought so much joy into my life. I tried my best to be a corporate type but that is not me, and the Lord never gave His blessing to me when I pursued it over my family. Without my husband, I wouldn't have our children or our happy life. I really am grateful for my life today. I never thought I was cut out for the stay at home type of mother, but I am.
