Soooo....almost 15 years ago I met this guy. He was smart, handsome, funny, well versed in all sorts of topics I loved to discuss, a good Christian man, an animal lover....and he could sing. Like, really sing. (And make me laugh and giggle uncontrollably.) So I married that guy. (Id be dumb not to have, right?) And weve had a crazy, fun, wild ride through all these years. Weve shared joy and sorrow, laughter and tears (more laughter than tears), and all that life has thrown at us. Hes my best friend. Hes held me when Ive fallen apart (more times that I like to admit), stood by me when I could barely manage, hes made sure each and every day of our marriage that Ive laughed and known that I was loved. He wakes me up with a kiss each day, and is always ready to drop everything when I want to talk (ramble) about whatever is on my mind. He has always made me feel that I am the most important person on earth to him; I can tell by the way he looks at me, talks to me and cares for me. When I can barely move, he moves for me. When I cant tie my shoes, he bends down to do the job. When I am weary and tired, he refreshes me. When I feel like I cant go another step, he coaxes me. When I am scared, he protects and comforts me. The only one my husband loves more than me is God, and I absolutely love that he puts God first. I have seen him fearlessly stand for God, compassionately act towards others for God, prayerfully lift people up to God, and cry out to God for those who are hurting. Hes my wonderful, sentimental, faithful guy. And hes perfect for me. Today, Nov 23, is his birthday. If I could ask one thing from all of you, Id like you to join me in praying for my good man. Praying that God will continue to use him. That my husband will continue to pour his heart out to people for God. That God will bless and keep him, and ever hold my husband in the palm of His hand. I married a wonderful man. I loved him deeply when I married him, but nothing like I love him today. Each day reveals parts of his deep and caring nature, and it will take me a lifetime to discover and appreciate it all. (And because Im selfish, probably not even a lifetime will be long enough.) Charles Butler, son of a godly woman named Ruth and a devoted father named Charles Sr, loving father of sons you have both of blood and of your heart, wonderful husband to me, cherished son by my parents, friend to many, counselor and shepherd to all who call upon you, faithful soldier for your country and an outstanding soul....I wish you the happiest of birthdays. You have no idea how loved you are, by me, by our friends and family, and by God. Lets make this a wonderful year, my love. Thank you for all the blessed ones so far, I cant wait to see what the future holds. I love you. Always and forever yours, your Beth
