Today is my wife’s birthday. I know she’d greatly appreciate birthday wishes – and you can meet her on facebook, over HERE.
If you don’t know her, allow me to describe her with the best detail I can.
Her worth is far above jewels.
(of course… I’m supposed to say that, right?) – but it’s for real. See, when you’re facing most obstacles like not knowing anything about websites, or copywriting… or if you’d love to learn the piano, but have no teacher, you can get around those obstacles with money.
Sometimes, there are obstacles that you can’t get past with any amount of money. This has allowed me to conquer some of the greatest obstacles anyone could face. We are a team. Our teamwork has made the dream work.
My heart trusts in her and I will have no lack of gain.
Our lives are one. I can say what she’s going to say before she says it. We think the same things. We’re on the same page. Because of all this, together, we are growing every single day in every single way. Our increase spills over to others, and we live in constant abundance.
She does me good and not evil all the days of her life.
They say love is blind. I used to think that was for the infatuated. Maybe that’s what I am – infatuated for Lorrina. She’s never held me back or discouraged me from anything! (and I’ve pulled some real dooseys!)
She works in delight.
I’ve never known anyone to work so cheerfully and diligently. We could have diaper disasters, or poker chips in the heat registers, and me coming out of the office late from a webinar… it doesn’t matter. She’s joyous and energetic and can’t wait to get started on a dinner crafted with the greatest love and care. (food blessed like that is most nutritious.)
She rises also while it is still night and gives food to her household.
I’m talking about food a lot now, aren’t I? Perhaps, but the food here is a metaphor for the sustenance we receive from all her getting up early, researching alternative health choices or remedies for when we’re sick, packing us up to go camping (like last weekend), and her excitement to take us on adventures near and far!
She considers investments carefully, and buys wisely – and profits.
I’ve never known her to err in spending money on anything! We’ve made mistakes, sure! But it’s because she’s shown her dedication to support me and my maniacal ideas.. By the Infinite’s design… her wisdom led me on my journey as an entrepreneur. Her investment in ME has even profited. Thank you, hunny!
She girds herself with strength and makes her arms strong.
I try to help her whenever I can, but sometimes I’ve come home from a business trip or something, and there’s an entire living room re-arranged. She’s already got an athletic build to begin with, so every day, I am more and more behaved!
She extends her hand to the poor…
There is a law in prosperity – they call it the law of reciprocity. Don’t EVER discount it. Even when we were very poor, Lorrina (against my lack-driven wishes) would show generosity to the needy. That’s why we’re better off today.
Strength and Dignity are her clothing, and she smiles at the future.
You’re always supposed to take time to dream. I’ve been well known to apply myself so diligently toward a goal, that I forget to take moments to dream… to reflect on what the future will be like… to envision what is coming. She’s so grounded that it balances me out… and I sit with her in front of the computer while the kids are in bed… and we’ll surf the ‘net for all manners of things – outdoor kitchens… sports cars… our Tuscan Villa. And yes, she’s always smiling.
Her children rise up and bless her;
It’s so cool when you’re visiting others, or out in the mall, and the kids say to friends and strangers alike: “My mom is taking me swimming!” “My mommy got me this t-shirt!” “My mommy loves us sooo much!”
Even I praise her.
There have been many great women in the past – who have been influential leaders, fantastic wives, and outstanding mothers. Lorrina excels them all. Everything she does is lauded and magnified by everyone she knows.
With every fiber of my being, I am so joyful and grateful to God for bringing us together.
I love you, Lorrina. Thank you for Seizing Faith in what we’ve become today. I’m so excited to see where this journey takes us next!
Happy Birthday!
