A note to my wife

Dearest Rebekah,

We’ve been married a little over 10 years now, and it’s taken a decade to fully realize just how special you are. I am incredibly blessed. I don’t deserve you.

Over the past 10 years, I have also realized that the devil is honed in to destroy marriages. Too many close friends have watched their spouses walk away, and they are left alone – feeling empty, worthless, and scared. I pray for healing and comfort for them.

Tonight, I take a break from watching Hallmark with you, to duck around the corner to the laptop to publicly type that I am so in love with you, and by God’s grace, we will walk hand in hand until Jesus returns. And in true, Hallmark movie form, I will strive to always be the loving, trustworthy country-bumpkin that you fell for in lieu of the rich businessman.

I pray that together, we will always be a lighthouse guiding those around us to the safety of the Savior.

Yours forever!

Kent

How to enjoy life: Pro Tip

I am a living, breathing, walking testimony that you can have a TON of fun in this life without drugs, alcohol, clubs, etc.

How?

  • Knowing Jesus brings joy!
  • Love everybody – always.
  • Rock a cool nickname like “Kentobean”.
  • Surround yourself with people who bring you up.
  • Lovingly avoid spending all your time with people who bring you down. Notice I said ALL your time. People who bring you down are the type who are struggling and you can be there for them – just don’t get sucked down the negativity vortex.
  • Smile and hug.
  • Be pure in heart.
  • Be faithful to your spouse.
  • Watch Hallmarks instead of Horror movies.
  • Less Talk radio and more talking to strangers. You’ll learn people need encouragement and the title “stranger” will be upgraded to “friend”.
  • Look for every opportunity to be a blessing!
