God Gives, A Poem for my Wife

This poem is for my wife. I’ve been listening to some great scripture-based sermons lately and I’ve been reminded of God’s grace in my life in the form of my wife. I’m no poet, so if you’re not my wife, bare with me here:

God gives,
Eyes, so I can appreciate her beauty,

God gives,
A mouth, so I can talk to her and taste her cooking,

God gives,
Me a sense of touch, so I can feel her gentle skin,

God gives,
Ears, so I can hear her loving voice and talk to her,

God gives,
A nose, so I can smell her perfumes, fragrances, and cooking,

God gives,
A brain, so I can accomplish all of the above and appreciate her,

God gives,
Scripture, so I can rightly understand the His design for of all of the above, more appreciate all of the above, and grow with her for the rest of our earthly lives in a manner that might glorify Him more as time passes.

Christine, I love you. Jesus, Thank you so much for my wife and a growing awareness of what she **really** means in my life!
