Today is Sherry’s birthday, and this is my tribute to her. It is taken from my book, Be Still, and it says all I want to say quite well.

 A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies. Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. Proverbs 31: 10-12

Yes, today, and every day, I celebrate this special lady who helps me face life without fear; loves me more than I deserve; brings peace into my life and fills my days with joy.

My precious Sherry celebrates her birthday today—I believe she said she was 39—and I just want to thank God for her. I can’t imagine where I might be without her, and I cannot plan a future where she is not by my side.

I believe the secret to a successful marriage is for both parties to try and out-love the one another. If the love is from the heart—a heart God resides in—love cannot fail.

There are no jewels that compare, nor are there words to describe this beautiful and talented lady who walks beside me. I have endeavored to honor her with poem and song, but my efforts seem to not do justice to the friend and companion she is and all she’s done for me.

No matter my need, she meets it. No matter my whim, she indulges it. She loves unceasingly and completely. Her heart is surely full of God and His love.

God is love, and she was created in His image.

I am blessed.
