Austin is definitely much at fulfilling the joy-giver role in my life than I am in his. He is just a delightful human being and he has an excellent sense of humor, so it seems that I am always laughing in his presence :) and he always makes a concerted effort to get me smiling when I start out in a frustrated or angry frame of mind.


Because he is such a naturally observant person, he is good at recognizing what brings me joy, and when I need a boost the most! He also thinks things through far more thoroughly than anyone I've ever met, so every decision he makes is based on his knowledge both of what I want and like, and what would be best for our family - that alone brings me more joy than I will ever be able to fully express!


We seem to spend a lot of time in a vehicle. Between road trips to Colorado, weekend trips around the state, our Shopper route (ahhh, memories), and countless jaunts to various home-improvement emporiums, we have logged many driving hours together. Some of my favorite memories of times together are during those hours. We are each others' captive audiences, and a lot of the time we have to keep each other awake, so a lot of silliness ensues :)


I thank the Lord every day for one more day to spend with the love of my life! He is definitely a blessing and is an expert at being my chief joy-giver :)

Challenge
. . . make your life-goal to become the primary joy-giver in your spouse's world.

This is a doozy, I know, but how amazing would it be if this was truly our life-goal? This is definitely going in my prayer journal!
