he brought me roses

Maybe it was because

his black ink pen got washed with

my favorite jeans

and ruined them today.

Maybe it was because

 I haven't been feeling so well lately.

Maybe it was because

 I suggested that we go get

 homemade chicken and dumplings

for lunch

and he absolutely loved them.

Maybe he knows

that having to move again is very, very hard for me.

I really don't know why....

but when he came walking down the hall just now and said,

 "I haven't brought you flowers in a while,"

I was overwhelmed with love and appreciation

for this man who loves me

in spite of myself.

"Husbands love your wives,

 just as Christ also loved the church

and gave His life for it...."

Ephesians 5:25

He does..
