That Man O’ Mine

His selfless love for others makes him an 
example of God’s pure love…
Gentle.

Tender-hearted.
Cries easily {especially when children suffering are mentioned}

Kind.
Wise.
Brave.

Strong.

Orphan advocate.

Grace-filled.
Generous.
Known by more than a dozen as “dad”

and hundreds as Big Jaja…..

and by me for the last 37+ years  as “Whitey”…
Today we celebrate the most godly man I know whom
 I have had the privilege of spending most of my life with.
Join me in wishing that man o’ mine a very Happy Birthday.

I love you Whitey.

May you feel honored, celebrated and loved today and every day.

  1. happy birthday, Dwight 🙂 praying that many men/pastors and young boys in Uganda see and understand your example of Christ's love to orphans, women, and children and recognise this in the Word which they read, and be inspired by the Holy Spirit to go and do. 🙂

  2. happy birthday!!! thank you for setting an example of what i want to find in a husband some day. (sooner than later would be nice…just sayin'…!) :} i know your family will make you feel celebrated and loved – they have a special knack for doing that on birthdays! can't wait to read about it! :}

  3. Happy Birthday to a man we admire even though we have never met. Thank you that my kids can see and hear me read what a man of God truly is. You have touched our lives and we will be praying special blessings on you today. I believe one day we will all meet and that makes me smile.

  4. Hey DW,
    Happy Birthday….God has truly gifted
    you and your heart to serve HIM and those
    HE has given you to protect.
    Linny, you are a Blessed woman to have such
    a wonderful man to be your husband…
    I pray that someday my husband would be the man God
    has created him to be…but for now, I dream and
    pray that I, too, someday have a husband as wonderful
    as your hubby…
    Thanks for letting me share.
    Love from NC

  5. Happy Birthday to your husband from us here in Georgia! It has been a pleasure to follow your blog and see with our own eyes the character that the Lord has instilled in you both. Gods blessings be upon your hubby on the day we celebrate his birth and life. Happy Resurrection Sunday!

  7. Happy Birthday! I pray my daughters will one day find their own man with the same attributes you possess. Thank you for being a Godly example to so many.
