Dear God:Today, I am thankful for the best climbing partner - my husband, S.
As a writer, I know the value of an effective editor/coach.
As a rock climber, I know the value of a great partner/coach who refuses to give up on me (even when I want to abort the climb).
When I complain that I'm scared, he simply replies, "That's good."
When I exclaim, "I'm really, really scared!" he calmly instructs me to take a deep breath before resuming the climb.
When I protest that a move is too hard, he encourages me to try anyway. (I usually succeed.)
And, when I finally succeed, he graciously downplays his role, explaining that I (not he) made the moves.
For this blessing, I am grateful.
Amen.
