Have I mentionedmy hubby Lately?

I've seen a lot of proud mom blogs. Everyone espousing some pithy anecdote about this child or that, proclaiming their 3 year old's brilliance, or contrarily, their endearing mischief and adventures. As Seinfeld would say, "not that there's anything wrong with that." But something is missing on many a stay-at-home mom's blog and today, I will attempt to address this directly by giving a big old shout out to the dad of the year, my hubby.
Have I mentioned him lately? Probably not as much as I should, or in the light that I should. He is the hardest worker I know and gets little praise or compensation for his diligence. And yet, his comment about that is, "The Lord knows and he'll reward me." The world (and I) would say, "But you deserve so much more, stand up for yourself, demand the reward and attention that you deserve. Don't let other people take credit for your ideas and labor!" We as believers are not called to be doormats, and He certainly isn't that. What he is is an incredibly humble man. His ego does not need the boost of others to affirm that he is worth while or successful.
As long as I've known him, he has defined his success by keeping his family his top priority in time and attention. He loves his girls, gives me nights off regularly, tells me that he loves me. And what do I do? I get on him for not asking for more money. I have already asked for forgiveness for this, but by way of making amends, I offer this: There is no one like my hubby, he is a wonderful husband and father, and I will not wait until someone is writing an obituary for him to shout it from the rooftop of my blog.
There, the truth is spoken.
