We celebrated Joshua's birthday with a surprise several weekends prior to the actual date. Joshua's birthday fell during the workweek and he was starting school as well. We wanted to give him the opportunity to have some fun before he was distracted with his schedule. As a result, on his genuine birthday, it was a rather small party. We invited some of our family over and shared his favorite supper. The evening was all about him. Right? Or so I thought.
When welcoming him home, I was surprised to find him holding flowers. Although I found it odd, I thought maybe someone sent them to his work. Nope. They were for me! That’s right. Me.
I was completely shocked.
I snipped the ends and stuck them in a mason jar, all the while asking why he would send me flowers. “It’s not my birthday,” I said.
He told me to read the card. Here is what he had to say.
Wow, talk about a beautiful and very humbling moment. My husband was giving me gifts on HIS birthday. That is cool.
I am constantly amazed at how selfless he is. What a good example to set for me and our family. Thank you Joshua, for showing me Christ in all things.
AND JOSHUA WANTS EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT HE DOES KNOW HOW TO SPELL BOUQUET! heehee
