Foundation

My wife is the core of our family. With the kids needing so much time and attention it’s easy to think that they are the focus.
•
But I didn’t marry my kids. I didn’t make a vow to them, I made it to my wife.
•
I’ve seen plenty of marriages seem fine while the kids are around, but when the last kid leaves they find the only thing they had in common was parenting, and they find themselves in a house with a person who they’ve lost contact with over the years.
•
My wife takes priority over the kids. To put it bluntly, I save her first, and the kids second. I’d die for both, but I die first for her.
•
The foundation is more important than the furniture.

Nothing I’ve done has earned this blessing, quite the opposite in fact. Despite my actions and shortcomings the Lord has given me much, His grace humbles me every day.
