Karen, what a great thread to start! I've loved reading the posts, but have avoided replying because I was having such a hard time narrowing it down to 5 things! I appreciate so much about him, but I've decided my 5 will be the "little" things he does. :)

I appreciate that...

2 - He tells me he loves me first thing every morning, last thing before we go to sleep, every time one of us leaves the house, and at the end of every phone conversation without fail.
3 - He will surprise me by going to the store and buying my favorite splurge foods when he feels like spoiling me (he hates going food shopping)
4 - He works extremely hard to provide for us.
5 - He shows his love for me constantly and in so many different ways (he covers all of the love languages and more!)

3. He loves me sooo much that He was even willing to die about 2000 years ago for ME! :o

#3 He remembers small things that I don't do for myself and tries to do them/get them for me.

4. I appreciate that he is a loving father to our 3 daughters and is in partnership with me to raise them to be godly women.
5. I appreciate that God uses him to chasten me and convict me when I am fleshy and out of line, and that he says he is sorry, when he is. I also appreciate that he accepts me with my flaws, and encourages me to be brave and bold and walk where God is calling me to.
