Marriage Letters: deep thoughts

Andrew,

You are a deep thinker.  You take your time, ingest things, think long and steady on them.  You are quick to listen and slow to speak.  We joke in our house and with close friends, poking fun at you honestly, that you never want to be boxed in by saying something when you aren't ready to commit yourself to those outloud thoughts.

But I actually really love it about you, even if sometimes it drives me crazy.  When you are dwelling and thinking on things you are actually doing so much more.  It's how God's wired you to pursue Him.  It's how He teaches you, prepares you, and leads you.  Out of your silence comes great perspective and discernment.  You don't take steps in haste, but you constantly pursue which steps are next to be taken.  In your work, our family, our marriage, friendships, commitments.  I watch you think and pray and come alive.

You think deeply because you are deeply rooted.  I am very thankful.  Love you,

Ash

Oh the joys of being the "talker" when the great "listeners" of life take it all in with wisdom. Psalms actually talks about that right? "Even a fool looks wise...when he doesn't speak"... wishin' I was smarter than a quiet fool MUCH of the time. HA HA Love that you have a naturally brilliant man. High five!
