She’s Out of My League
She is so much better than I am.
I know that sounds cheesy and cliche, but it’s true. Amanda is better than me by leaps and bounds.
God commands me to love my wife as Jesus Christ loved me. Now those are some big shoes to fill, but I try. Some days I think I do pretty good at it, but there are other days where I know I haven’t done my best and loved Amanda the way I’m supposed to. If Paul called himself the chief of all sinners, then there are a lot of days where I’m the chief of all screw up husbands. I don’t mean I lose it on my wife or anything like that, but sometimes I know I could do a better job of loving her as Jesus loves me.
Amanda, however, makes it look easy. Every time I mess up, she helps me up. When I’m not my best she doesn’t nag and hassle me. She loves me, encourages me, accepts me. She spends all day taking care of our kids–chasing them, correcting them, cleaning up after them–and she still has the patience to care for me too. That’s an awesome wife!
She’s so much smarter than me too. A couple weeks ago she wrote an amazing blog about putting Jesus before family because your family is temporary–you won’t need them in heaven. I don’t think I can express the astonishment and pride I felt when I first read that. (There was a bit of jealousy too.) I wish I had half the insight she does–not to mention the ability to put it so well into words.
And while we may not be husband in wife in heaven, I’m still gonna let my cup overflow with her as much as I can while I’m with her in this life!
