Do you ever just take into account the good things that God has given to you? I am so there. I must start today with my wife of 29+ years and we even dated for 5 year prior to that. 2008 holds a milestone for both of us and yes it's one of 'those' milestones that make you think about the impact of your life. Well, my wife has been truly a gift from the Lord in my life. She is so strong it is amazing. What she accomplishes for others is truly a great testimony to the love of God.
I am a person that likes to run with his feet on the ground (boring right?), anyway Tonya is never afraid to try new things or attempt to try something that others (namely me) might never try. I am truly in love with her. She has given me 2 great kids and out of that I have a great daughter-in-law and 2 awesome grand-daughters. By the way, I wasn't ready for the Papaw label when the news came, but wow it's the greatest!
Tonya had a lot of things against her when she was going up, but she determined that through Christ, generational things were not going to determine her future. And they haven't! She is always reaching for something higher and knows that her true strength comes from the Lord. Ministry is never easy for the family of a minister, but she has embraced it and without her I couldn't do what I do today.
She is the funniest too! One of my favorite things to do is to watch her watching America's Funniest Home Videos or Wipeout. Man she can have a hoot while watching others make fools of themselves. A word of warning: don't ever fall while she is around! I fell at the office on Monday and just telling her about it made her laugh until it hurt.
Tonya, I say you're the best and I mean it. I AM SO BLESSED - I thank my God that He has placed us to walk together throughout life. There's no one I'd rather be walking with than you!
BLESSED!
MT
