There's a song by Steven Curtis Chapman called "Fingerprints", that goes:
"I can see the fingerprints of God
When I look at you
I can see the fingerprints of God
And I know it's true
You're a masterpiece
That all creation quietly applauds
And you're covered with the fingerprints of God."
There's one man on this earth that I know is covered from head-to-toe with God's fingerprints. This post is dedicated to him. He is my life's greatest gift. He's been my rock in good times, and bad. He has more integrity than anyone I know. He's a devout husband, and a loving, giving father. And I love him with all my heart and soul.
Faith is an easy thing to say you have in good times. It's tough when things are bad. But true faith shines when the road gets hard. I believe I have that faith. I KNOW he does.
I am here for you, Jim. I stand proudly beside you. I always will. No matter what. In good times, and in bad. That's love. And faith. Your goodness shines through everywhere you go. There's a saying that goes, "When God made you, He broke the mold". Fortunately, He didn't break it after He made you. He molded two beautiful sons who idolize you, and walk life like their father. I was lucky to be chosen as their mother. And blessed to be your wife. To travel through life by your side.
I love you all the way to heaven and back. Always. C. xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Having the chance to meet this man, I was able to witness his love, dedication and devotion to you, too, Carol. You both share an amazing bond together, one that so many are searching for. We both know that it comes from many years of bumps in the road, celebrations of joy, and walking side by side through the daily journey of our time here on earth. Jim makes this world a better place and he is such a kind and gentle soul. Hugs.. Nel
more tears...
xoxoxoxoxox...to BOTH of you
All who know you and Jim recognize that yours is a match made in Heaven between two priceless people. Together, you epitomize the meaning of the word "loving partnership" as you navigate the seas of life---whether the sailing be smooth or rough, you survive, together, with inimitable style. Your Jim is indeed a treasure, as are you.
Love,
Kathi

Way to make me cry on a Saturday morning!
God has definitely blessed you with this wonderful man. I'm so glad you recognize it!
This is a great reminder for all of us to take note of the wonderful people God has placed in our lives.
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful, early Valentine! In Jim's spare time, maybe he could give lessons to other husbands?????? No, really, you two are so special and so blessed to have found one another. Prayers continue!

What a wonderful post! I'm very happy to find people like you who express their feelings in such a way. I'm sure your husband feels the same way. I also found my soulmate a couple of years ago and we're still in love. He's everything for me.
Thanks again for such a lovely post and for sharing it.
Oh Carol, I've missed something. I hope you are both well and together.
