She loves with an unselfish love. She loves children that sometimes have no one else to love them. The children have been ravaged by diseases outside of their control. The kids she loves didn't choose cancer. They didn't choose sickle cell anemia. They didn't choose cystic fibrosis. They didn't choose abusive or neglecting parents.
Sometimes these children have parents that are laying their entire lives and families on the line for their sick child. Going so far in debt that they couldn't even dream of escaping it. Their families are inevitably broken due to the stress a child with cancer places on them. These families are many times left to suffer on their own. No support groups, churches, close friends to journey with them. They are left questioning the God they know or the God that is supposed to save them from all bad things. Regardless of whether or not they know this God, they are left questioning why them, why their child?
More times than you would like to know, you have families that neglect their children through these diseases. They drop their child off at the hospital for a week and only come to visit when it's time to pick them up. They don't monitor their medicines or diets and wonder why their kid is attempting suicide. They wonder why their child is getting in trouble with the law and doesn't care about anything, even living and beating their disease.
My wife is passionate woman that cannot let children suffer alone. She will fight for their lives and fight alongside the parents ready to fight by equipping them with the tools and resources to succeed. She will love these children, she will hold these children, she will cry for these children, she will laugh with these children, she will make the little girls princesses, and she will make the little boys meet their heroes. She will live vibrantly with them and she will be hurt when they hurt.
She shows me more of what Christ's unconditional love looks like for us than anyone else I know. I want to be more like my wife.

HOW SWEET of you to point it out. Sounds like you have a wonderful partner. May you each inspire each other to be more like Christ as you grow throughout the years. How wonderful it is to see your Saviour in your partner. What a blessing that is. Isn't it awesome to have a relationship that exemplifies the love of Christ and be able to see it in action in the other. How cool is that? I know that second question sounds redundant but it isn't really. To see your Savior in your partner is one thing but to see them share the love of Christ with others in their relationships is something entirely different. Your commenting on it shows that you are a very attentive and loving husband. Keep it up! God bless.
