Ethyn, Dad, CUB Chuck and Rod
Five of the finest sent by God
Also a beauty in braids and bows
‘Nana turns heads wherever she goes.
But one born today brings shouts of Hooray!!
He’s the better half who makes my day.
*************
“There once was a man named Chuck.
When I met him ‘twas more than just luck.
He asked me to be his loving wife
And altered the rest of my life.”
He’s my amorous shining knight indeed
And provides all a maiden could ever need.
He waves his hands and talks with zeal
He makes me laugh and helps me heal.
He gardens in pots and cooks in pans
And shops for things in bags and cans.
He whistles through trials and smiles at fate
Even when too many things fill his plate.
People from various climes and places
Laugh at his words and funny faces.
His tender heart weeps for those in need.
He strives to help them learn and succeed.
He’s known how to fix and build since a boy
And every day loves and cares for his Joy.
He serves the Lord both far and near
And fuels his faith each day and year.
He loves our kids and grandkids, too.
We’re glad they’re sealed to us like glue.
I love this man with heart and soul.
Together forever is our ultimate goal.
Sister Joy . . . You continue to be SO CLEVER. We love following your mission blog. (Thanks Melia!) Today at church we met a couple just returning as missionaries in Zimbabwe; Bro. & Sis. Jeffries from Idaho. They said they had met you & toured your office at one time. The world just keeps getting smaller. Wishing you peace, safety, and continued success. Crystal
ReplyDeleteThanks, Crystal! Yes, it truly is a small world after all. ♥
DeleteWhat a special tribute to Chuck. Those special feelings that you have for him are what motivates him to serve you and others. His love for Christ is evident in his caring for others. Glad we have had the opportunity to share in some small way with Chuck and Joy as you journey through this frail existence.
