I am ever thankful for my husband who gets up, without complaint and goes out to provide for his family....in the harsh reality of 15 degrees with a wind chill in the single digits. And then, in the summer, he does the exact opposite by heading out at 4:30am when it is ALREADY 75degrees and on its way up to near 100degrees. All the while, without complaint. All he asks for is either a hot breakfast in the winter or a cool drink in the summer ...that is quite the trade off if you ask me.
So here is to husbands.
Husbands that get up early, and the ones that get home early.
Husbands that pull an extra shift for some extra cash, and the ones that turn down a shift for extra family time.
Husbands that make the big bucks, and the ones that make a big difference.
Husbands that are great bosses, and the ones that impress their bosses.
Husbands that went to college, and the ones that went to work.
Husbands that served their country, and the ones that serve their communities.
Husbands that love their wives as Christ loved the church, and the ones who try to.
Husbands who pray for the kids, and the ones whose kids pray for them.
Husbands who bring home the bacon, and the ones who cook the bacon.
Husbands who go to church, and the ones who need to go to church.
Husbands who have tea parties with their little girls, and ones who watch from from afar.
Husbands who send roses, and ones that pick them.
Husbands who kiss you goodnight, and ones who kiss you good morning.
Husbands who play sports with their kids, and ones that play video games with their kids.
Husbands who save money, and the ones who spend it.
Husbands that have been faithful, and the ones that have been remorseful.
Husbands that make you laugh, and the ones who hold you when you cry.
Husbands who lead, and the ones that listen.
Husbands that do everything right, and the ones who make everything all right.
I imagine that all of our husbands are as vastly different from each other as we are. So today, I celebrate them for whatever they bring to your family, the good, the bad, and the really good.
Now get off the computer, and go love on your man!!!!

Beautiful tribute to husbands!! I am a wonderfully blessed woman with a great husband. He does whatever it takes to keep us all happy and provided for. He is everything I could have hoped for and way more than that!
Now see you made me totally cry! My husband's in the heat of Iraq right now and has been for the last 8 months (as of today). I miss him terribly. He's one of the best men I've ever met and he picked ME!!!! Beautiful post!
This is such a beautiful tribute! You have a lovely blog. God bless you.
Stopped by from Christy at My 3 Gifts... Love your dedication to your hubby!! We should all be like this... all the time.
Many blessings to you and yours-

Great blog! I was just thinking about how much I love my husband this morning. (which is unusual for a Monday) Seriously, he really is a great husband and father.
