Guys,
Who was your favorite superhero when you were growing up? For me it was no contest, it had to be Spider-man. Don't get me wrong, Superman and Batman were cool, but they paled in comparison to Spidy. To be able to shoot webbing out of your wrists and swing from building to building; common who doesn't dig that.
However, times have changed and I'm no longer 8 years old. Today I have a new superhero. One that is far superior to spider-man. No, she can't shoot webbing out of her wrists or climb buildings with her sticky fingers. As a matter of fact she doesn't even have a fancy uniform or name. Instead, she answers to the common names of Honey, Sweetheart, and Wife. And for me she's all the superhero I need.
Tonight I was reminded of that as I watched her drive away to go grocery shopping, Just one of many superhero powers she posseses. And as she left, I realized how lucky I am to have such a wonderful loving wife who always puts her family first and self last. A wife who is truly my better half, my confidante and my soul mate. Yet over and over I take her for granted by not showing her how much I appreciate her and love her.
My wife has one of the most difficult and thankless jobs in the whole world as a stay at home mom, yet everyday she gladly gets up (ok sometimes not so glad) and takes care of the families needs. Whether it be cleaning a mess around the house, Driving the kids around from place to place or just kissing a simple boo boo, she's always there. Tell me what's not superheroish about that.
So here's my question gentlemen - when was the last time you told your wife you love her? When was the last time you made her feel special? When was the last time you gave her a back rub without wanting something in return? When was the last time you treated her like the superhero she is. Just something to think about!!!

Well Angie is a super hero becuase she puts up with me everyday. Plus If it wasn't for her I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be half the man I am today...she pretty much is DA MAN of the house...sure I like to think I am but...not a CHANCE..sure I get to make some choices or descions about things...but I know she knows more about situations then I do so I just listen to her. Plus she is very kind and loving...no matter how much I screw up or say something wrong or tick her off...plus I know I will realize it more when we have kids I know I will...because I can see she will be a loving mother with an immature father helping her out...lol Also gave her a back rub a couple days ago!
OK Scott, you know that I think my wife is a super hero, and if I had to pick a name for her it would be Wonderwoman but that is taken. Told her I love her right before she arrived a tchurch tonight and backrubs are my specialty so she gets them often. You are right though we need to constantly tell them how special they are.
scott thanks for getting me thinking! you rock on this thought!!!
