Kori A. Bolden

33 years ago today, you took your first breath. Exactly one month ago today, you witnessed our son take his.

Seeing you as a dad is a whole ‘nother level of joy I never knew existed. The way you care for our baby boy — your patience, intention, willingness, selflessness — is a breathtaking reflection of our Heavenly Father’s heart for His children. It’s a reminder of what pure, sacrificial love looks like when we rely on Christ over our limited abilities & understanding. It’s confirmation that there’s absolutely no one else in this world I was created to do life with.

Today, and every day, I thank God for the gift & sanctifying agent He has given me in you, and in our son. I love you, Husband. Happy birthday. ♾️

Happy one month, RCBIII 💙

“In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.” ~Ephesians 5:28

“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.“ ~Ephesians 6:4

“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone? And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” ~Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
