My Husband Rocks

Today, Katy Lin, our hostess for My Husband Rocks, has asked us if we would like to share a favorite Christmas memory that we have with our husbands.

I believe I have mentioned that my husband, Jason, is a drummer. Our first Christmas together was in California and he had thrown many a hint that he wanted a new drum set.

I found him a white Pearl drum set and bought it. I hid it in the cubby beneath the stairwell. He was absolutely shocked on Christmas morning! He loved that drum set. And he played it constantly.

When we moved to Florida, he packed it ever so carefully. He polished them and took care of them and played them with love. I'll never forget that first drum set that I gave him or the joy it obviously brought him.

We hit a very tough spot financially many years later and my beloved husband felt the Lord laying it upon his heart to sell those drums. He put an ad in the paper and had them sold for 3 times the amount I paid for them and we had provision for at least a month.

I know it must have broke his heart but he never complained. He kept saying the Lord told him to do it and the Lord would provide another set when the timing was right.

It would be a couple of years. The Lord honored that sacrifice and brought forth another set at a very reasonable price, however, Jason bought it for Joshua and thus began the next generation of drummers in our home.

Jason & Joshua both have drum sets now. And guitars. They love music. And I love them.


This is our attempts at getting a picture for a Christmas card. I'm tellin ya, my friends, he is a card!

I'm pretty sure Joshua thought he was never going to get out of the stairwell!

I really do like this picture! I think this was right before he started cracking up laughing again!

Or...he might have been doing this.... one can only speculate! haha

At any rate....my husband definitely rocks! And I thank God for him.
