Yesterday we kicked off a weekend of celebration for my dear husband, Carl Noble \u2014 the man who, by name and by nature, lives nobly every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His daughters went all out with a beautiful birthday party for this gentle giant, and over fifty-five friends and family came to honor him. And yes, I\u2019ll admit I\u2019m partial \u2014 but anyone who knows Carl would agree: he\u2019s the real deal.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl and I found love again later in life \u2014 two widowed hearts God graciously brought together. Since marrying him on August 8, 2023, I\u2019ve had a front-row seat to his quiet strength, sense of humor and steady kindness that make him who he is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A noble man isn\u2019t defined by the headlines or Hollywood scripts. He\u2019s not a superhero on a movie screen. He\u2019s the man who shows up \u2014 consistently, humbly, faithfully. Carl shows up for his friends, for his family, and for strangers who need a ride to the doctor or a word of encouragement on a hard day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He attends three men\u2019s Bible studies every week \u2014 not to boast about knowledge, but to grow in wisdom and to invest in others. He encourages young boys in schools where father figures can be scarce. He notices people \u2014 really notices \u2014 and then calls out what\u2019s good in them with a word of kindness. He doesn\u2019t brag, but his life whispers the kind of strength that lasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scripture says, \u201cBe on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong. Do everything in love.\u201d (1 Corinthians 16:13-14) That\u2019s Carl. Strong but gentle. Courageous but humble. Faith-filled and loving in ways both big and small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world needs more noble men \u2014 men who quietly change lives without needing applause, men who build families and communities with integrity and grace. I thank God every day that He gave me one to love and walk beside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carl is not perfect (he\u2019ll be the first to tell you that), but he is quick to apologize, quick to forgive, and quick to love. And that makes him mighty in all the ways that truly count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So today, and all weekend long, I celebrate my gentle giant — strong, kind, faith-filled and noble in every way that matters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
