What a Man!

So there is a man I know, one that I am in very close contact with that I would like to brag about. It's not a good thing to be proud but I have to admit I must be a sinner because I am very proud of this great guy. He tries so hard every day to make it a good one, a happy one, and better yet he goes out of his way all day long to make sure that mine is even better than his. He is a full-time student and has been for many years now, apart from being at school (he is at the top of his class) he works, serves diligently at church, plays with his children, holds family Home evenings regularly, has scripture study and prayer with his wife, sends her out for her own time weekly if not more while he stays with the kids, he cooks, cleans, dances and instead of listening to the radio in the car he listens to Conference talks.
I think the only scratch in his character is that he doesn't see all this in himself. sometimes he gets down thinking that he is not good enough, not working hard enough, or looking back in his life he thinks he hasn't yet achieved anything. I want him to know that he is wrong in thinking this. He has accomplished so much with his life and the things he is doing now are stepping stones and bricks to the structure of the beautiful castle of a man that Heavenly Father is building out of him. I feel so privileged to be a part of his life, his partner, his companion, his soul mate. I have been so happy getting to share this journey with him, and I honestly wouldn't change it for anything. It has made me stronger going through it with him. Thank you Jake, you are amazing. I love you
