Dear God, when You give me a husband,
give me my best friend, give me
a preacher of Your Word,
a godly man, a loving man,
one who will train his children
to serve You, a humble man, and patient,
a man of prayer, a man after Your own heart.
Amen.
TBT, For Gregory, August 11, 1992 ~ an acrostic variant

The lines are supposed to be offset so that the bold letters line up under one another. I can’t figure out how to accomplish that in WordPress, but in my original document, the bold letters lined up to spell “Gregory.”

Bending them until they almost break. 🙂 That’s how we grow. I only wish I could have made it look the way I wanted it to look.

Maybe not broken, but bent them until the ends touched each other. LOL!
