Joe Don and Jamie Ridgell are about to have an anniversay
It will be 23 years this Saturday. Joe Don and Jamie. Here are a few of the reasons I am proud of them as a couple and why I love them so much.
They really work together as a team. Raising three strong, faithful kids. Juggling work schedules. Finding time for each other. It really takes teamwork. No resentment. No worrying about who is doing the most. Just working together to get it done.
They are really family oriented. Obviously with each other and with their kids. But extended family too. Both sides. We are all invited to everything. Always welcome.
They are great role models. They are the family that young couples want to be. In love. Great kids. Not perfect, but happy. Content.
They are centered in the Jesus life. They each love Jesus more than anything. Teaching their kids to love Jesus more than anything. That makes them a power couple/power family for Jesus. People that hang around them get exposed to Jesus. Get encouraged to follow Jesus. Get invited to become a Jesus follower.
Finally, I am proud of them because they are not perfect. I know them. I see them up close. There are things they want to get better at doing. They are constantly working on improving their Jesus walk. They shore up weak spots in their relationship before they turn into problems. They carry the load for each other when one is a little off their game.
And that's what makes me love them.
God did a great thing when he put them together.
They are blessing many lives.
Thank you God for Joe Don and Jamie.
