Here is one of the best ideas ever....make him a small scrapbook album with his photo and some of your pictures together.
Respect Album for Husbands - this is SO GREAT!!!!
(Idea developed and submitted by Cathy Miller) In the book Love and Respect by Emerson Eggerichs, he talks about how a man's love language comes in the form of respect and a women's love language comes in the form of love. In the course of my study of this book I was encouraged to make my husband a small "respect album."
These were some of the following themes for each page...that were accompanied by pictures:
I respect your desire to be a great father.
I respect the way you made our family a priority in your life
I respect you for the way you have always sought to actively love your parents and mine.
I respect the way you are willing to be the source of our humor as well as the promoter of other's enjoyment of humor.
I respect the way you so selflessly seek to guide and direct others in their walk with God.
I respect the way you see the importance of family traditions and were so willing to allow me to be creative in our family celebrations.
I respect you for seeking to always broaden your mind through reading books and inspiring our children to do the same thing.
I respect you for being willing to go to work each day.
I respect the way you sought to make our house a home through all your home improvement projects you've done for me.
I respect so much your servant heart
The book included more specific stories, Scripture verses, and quotes.
I ended the book with the theme verse for our marriage: Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together. Psalm 34:3
If I can help you in any way, on the "how-tos" of doing it, I would be honored to.
