An open letter to my wife.
by Lewis McNeely on Sunday, Aug 10th, 2008 at 11:14 am
An Open Letter To My Wife

(Before I begin, let me say this letter is not written with any other motive than to bless and praise my wife. It is not for women to compare themselves or feel condemned and it is not for husbands to use as a tool for judge their wives. It is simply a letter from a very thankful husband, expressing love and praise to his wife and not only to her in private but at the city gates as well.)

Dear Kim,

I woke up this morning and as I was thinking about the Lord and other things, it came to me just how good you are and not just good to me but good in general. You are by all definitions a good person. You are an extremely good wife. While I was praying before church I was trying to think how to really let you know that I see the good in you and all the good things you do for people and especially for your family. That is when I had the idea for this open letter. First of all, I see what a great mother you are. You have always taken good care of Austin and these past 2 years I have seen with our 2 new little ones, that you are always giving to them what ever they need 24-7.  I am blessed by the fact that in the middle of the night, if one of our girls need something you are quick to jump up to tend to their needs. Even when I try to go instead you say: "no you sleep. You have to get up early in the morning". You are alway thinking of others before yourself. I also do not take for granted that whenever I open up the closet or clothing drawer that there is always something clean for me to wear. I remember when we first got married I woke up to find a packed lunch ready for me. I had never been treated so good.  I was amazed because no one (except my mother) had ever treated and served me with such thoughtfulness before.  You always have a smile for everyone. I cannot think of anyone who does not immediately fall in love with you once they meet you. You always lend a caring ear to your friends even when some of them would never stop talking long enough to let you share your heart.  I also notice  even when some friends and family members do not show you the kindness you show them,  you keep reaching out to them, keep listening and keep giving.  You are a rare person. I tried the other day to think of any one I know like you, as kind and as good as you and I could not think of a single person.

I know this letter does not do justice to the life you live and pour out for me and others everyday. And I know you never ask to be thanked by me. Still I need to let you know I observe your goodness to me and others everyday. I want to end by saying you are truly a wife of a noble character. I arise and call you blessed. I praise you as Proverbs says in 31 verse 31: " Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate."

I Love you Dear,

Lewis
