Rebecca celebrates another birthday today. I came home from work ready to spend some time with her and was met by two screaming children. Joshua wanted milk and Rebecca, and he wanted them 'now.' Andrew wanted something, but he doesn't speak English, so he just screamed.
She truly is my hero and best friend. I don't know how she keeps this house going. She is the hardest working person I've ever met. She is an amazing mommy and selfless wife. Her loyalty and commitment are only outshone by her joy. Her laugh is contagious and energizing. The way her eyes disappear when she smiles melts me.
This song by Caedmon's Call isn't the most romantic, but it is our current life. It isn't one you'd dance to at your wedding, but it probably should be. Rebecca, thank you for all you do. Thank you for loving the boys and me. We love you more than you could ever know. Enjoy a birthday dedication.
Sacred by Randall Goodgame and Andrew Osenga
This house is a good mess it’s the proof of life
No way would I trade jobs but I don’t pay overtime
I’ll get to the laundry I don’t know when
I’m saying a prayer tonight cause tomorrow it starts again
Could it be that everything is sacred
And all this time
Everything I’ve dreamed of has been right before my eyes
The children are sleeping but they’re running through my mind
The sun makes them happy and the music makes them unwind
My cup runneth over, I worry about the stain
Teach me to run to you like they run to me for every little thing
Cause everything is sacred
And all this time
Everything I’ve dreamed of has been right before my eyes
When I forget to drink from you I can feel the banks harden
Lord make me like a stream to feed the garden
Wake up little sleeper
The Lord God Almighty
Made your mama keeper
So rise and shine, rise and shine, rise and shine
Cause everything is sacred
And all this time
Everything I’ve dreamed of has been right before my eyes

Danny, that was beautiful. You made me cry. (And you know how hard that is to do...ha ha!)
Love,
Mom
That is such an up beat and light hearted song, but for some reason I get choked up every time I hear it...then again I'm pregnant. Anyway, I love that song, and I love that wife of yours even more! She's my mentor in mommydom.
Yes, Rebecca is an amazing woman of Christ and such a tremendous blessing as a friend. I love her and your family. Thanks for sharing your heart.
