1. To my Husband…. Your 40 th Birthday Gift Presentation

2. I tried to think of several gifts to buy you…. But, once again I got stumped.

3. Heres some of the brainstorming I did…. Watch: Already got you one for a wedding gift Clothes: You feel too fat to wear them Weekend away: Its been done in the past already Lowes/Home Depot cards: I know you could use them, but kind of blah for a 40 th b-day gift.

4. I started to get frustrated because when it comes to you…. I want it to be perfect.

5. So, I tried not to think about it…hoping the idea would come to me. It did. And life was good.

6. I was certain about it…feeling confident. But, then I had doubts.

7. So, I slept on it…. For several nights.

8. Between the doubt and concern…I just couldnt make up my mind. So…..I began to decision making process.

9. I began by writing down the pros and cons….

10. Pros and Cons ProsCons

11. On second thought…I dont want to give it away, so Ill hold off until later for that.

12. Next, in order for me to make a decision, I prayed to God….for days.

13. I then went to the bible for answers….

14. Finally, I made the decision.

15. So, now I have a very special gift to give to you and I hope you truly love it.

16. I hope you know how much I love you and how much I appreciate you

17. You mean the world to me and I KNOW I am blessed to have you.
