Happy Birthday, Holly!

Today is my wife's birthday. Holly is an incredible woman. She is beautiful, thoughtful, kind, loving, sexy, generous, Godly, forgiving, patient, joyful, peaceful, fun, romantic, gentle, nurturing, strong, humble, happy, trustworthy, faithful and supportive. I really could go on for quite some time. She is truly a woman of Proverbs 31, and I am indeed blessed to be her husband. I have taken portions of this passage and pasted it below. This is how I feel about Holly, taken from the New Living Translation:

A Wife of Noble Character

Who can find a virtuous and capable wife? She is worth more than precious rubies. Her husband can trust her, and she will greatly enrich his life. She will not hinder him but help him all her life...She is energetic and strong, a hard worker. She watches for bargains; her lights burn late into the night. Her hands are busy...She extends a helping hand to the poor and opens her arms to the needy. She has no fear of winter for her household because all of them have warm clothes...She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs with no fear of the future. When she speaks, her words are wise, and kindness is the rule when she gives instructions. She carefully watches all that goes on in her household and does not have to bear the consequences of laziness. Her children stand and bless her. Her husband praises her: "There are many virtuous and capable women in the world, but you surpass them all!" Charm is deceptive, and beauty does not last; but a woman who fears the LORD will be greatly praised. Reward her for all she has done. Let her deeds publicly declare her praise.
