I love you because you know when I need pizza for dinner, and soda, and chocolate.
I never really fell back asleep last night as I was up praying over a child. That led to a rough day as I was also working on a Mother's Day project for my mom. You did not mind bringing pizza home and even was thoughtful enough to bring me some chocolate. I love you for always trying to make my job easier.

I love you because you do the hard things.
I know that dealing with one of the children at 2:30 in the morning is not really how you wanted to spend the evening. It was a crisis of the heart and spiritual battle that you were fighting. I was praying for you as you dealt with this child or should I say young man. He is so much like you and you are trying to teach him the consequences of his sin. Thank you for being such a good dad to him and trying to make him understand he is sinning against a holy God. Know that as we are still dealing with this child that I am always praying for you. I love you.

I love you for being so interested in what is going on during my day.
You always ask how my day is. You call during the day just to check up on me. When you know that one of the kids has a doctor's appointment you always call to see how it went. I love you for being so concerned how my day is going. It makes me feel loved.

I love you because you love our boys and only want the best for them.
Thank you for taking the boys out this morning and trying to teach them about God. I know that it is a struggle as one of the boys really rejects anything to do with God. I respect you for being patient with him and working with him despite his lack of interest. Know that he is watching you and he is responsible for his own decision. I am so glad that you and doing what you need to do.

I love you because you are getting better at making decisions.
We both have a tendency to not want to make decisions, even about the littlest thing. Today, I called to ask if I could go to evening church at my parents. You expressed the desire to have me come home and be there about the time you got off from the Army unit. I so respect when you make a decision like that. I tend to struggle with submission and you tend to struggle with being the leader of the family. It felt really good to actually submit to your decision as it was very clear what you wanted and why. I so want to get better at submitting to your authority. Please forgive me for not being a very submissive wife sometimes. I know that undermines your role as head of the house. I am trying to do better.

I love you because you took me on a date night last night.
We do not get to go out that often. We met at the mall last night and you even took off a little early. We had a very enjoyable evening.

love you because you sacrifice going to work every day to provide for us.
I know in my heart that engineering is not where God wants to be ultimately. The waiting for what God does want you to do is hard. You have such leadership qualities. People tend to listen to you and talk to you. I know that God has great things in mind for you and yet you get up every day and head off to a job that is hard. You do not complain but go off and leave us here at home. I know you would love to do something that allows you the ability to stay at home more and spend more time with the kids. Until God tells us to move though you are content right where he has placed us. I love and respect you for that.
