Best bone of my body

I’m still working my way through “John Ploughman’s Talk” by Charles H. Spurgeon. In his chapter on “A Good Word for Wives” I found he had described my wife Sharon. Spurgeon writes, “A true wife is her husband’s better half…his flower of beauty…and his heart’s treasure. He says to her, ‘I shall in thee most happy be. In thee, my choice, I do rejoice. In thee I find contentment of mind. God’s appointment is my contentment.’ In her company he finds his earthly heaven; she is the light of his home; the comfort of his soul, and (for this world) the soul of his comfort. Whatever his fortune may send him, he is rich so long as she lives. His rib is the best bone of his body.”
