Home is Where You Go…
To See Yourself Reflected in Your Husband’s Eyes….
I haven’t written about my husband before…for many reasons, but…
It is time….
Ian gave me this plaque after we married to remind me on a daily basis what he sees when he looks at me, my heart, my soul.
He knows I love words.
He knows I love seeing words in black and white.
He knows I believe you are what you read.
He knows that what you are told you are plays a great impact on who you believe yourself to be, especially when it comes from those who love you most. Especially when you are told these things daily.
Words can build. Words can destroy.
Precious…Mommy…Tender…expressive.
Priceless, valuable, petitioner, pure.
God’s.
God’s girl. God’s woman. God’s child.
It melts my heart when I read this.
It touches my soul.
It draws joy into me to think he views me in these ways.
Especially touching is that he daily reminds me that this is who I am in God’s eyes…my creator who has known me since before I was formed in my mother’s womb.
He made this plaque for me as a gift…to remind me that in God’s eyes…through His view…from God’s perspective…
I am His. I am good. I am worthy. I have value.
Priceless.
Sacrificially priceless..
Jesus worthy….Spirit Given…God blessed priceless.
While I have always known this…for my parents taught me this as well, over the years, I had lost that knowledge…buried deep.
Like a treasure, Ian put together this sweet gift to remind me of who I am, can be, will be..
A small gift in form, but a huge gift in its ability to impact.
“Do not merely listen to the word and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, forgets what he looks like.” James 1:22
I wonder how many of us “forget what we look like” due to others words about us, to life, to challenges….and, would that we were told the precious about us, how much more joyful and different would we be?
I am grateful that I have a husband who has helped me remembers whose I am…How I look through HIS eyes and through his (Ian’s) eyes…
It helps me remember.
My children read this plaque…and, they get to see how I am viewed by my husband. They look at me through a more sweetly defined perspective…
It has made a difference in my life..this small gift.
And, for that I would add another word.
Grateful…
Blessings,
Lesa
