And the winner is...

Bruce Thomas, whose wife Cortney gave birth to their third child, a little girl named Emma, on Thursday. Mom, baby Emma and her two big brothers are all reportedly doing well... pictures to follow!

Here's Cortney's winning entry, which was selected in a random drawing:
My husband, Bruce, is definitely my sweetheart. He is the kindest and the most
giving man I have ever met. We are in our early twenties and have two small
children and one on the way and there is never a day that goes by that he does
not help me or make me feel special in some way. He is constantly looking and
searching out ways to be better for me and our children. It's just an awesome
feeling to have this man as my husband that is always there for me and I truly
believe will always there for me and his boys. He's always got a smile on his
face and a song in his heart. He has taught me how to be a more positive mom and
over all person. I know that God knew exactly what he was doing when he brought
this man into my life to lead our family. - Cortney Thomas

Congratulations to Cortney and Bruce and Happy Valentine's Day from Encouragement FM: 89.5 KVNE & 91.3 KGLY!

Is Nathan Gann the Sweetest Heart of all?

My best friend... Nathan Gann is and has the sweetest heart. We have a unique relationship that I have not found with any other couple. Every morning he asks, "has anyone told you today how wonderful, sweet, precious, beautiful and how much they love you?" and I reply, "No." Then he will say, "Well I am." His devoition to me as a husband and best friend are not only through his words, but also through his actions. We have made it our goal to be debt free... so he has gone without all the nice "toys". At the moment his truck has 300,000 milles and counting. :) Nathan longs to be with us every spare minute he has. I can only remember one time that he went to a basketball game without us. I am so thankful God has blessed me with such a wonderful husband! I know there are other wonderful couples out there, but I want to give credit where it is due... So, Nathan, I want to tell you today how wonderful, sweet, precious, beautiful and how much I love you. Thank you for loving me like you do. - Allyson Gann

Is Cyndi Beaird's husband the Sweetest Heart of all?

My sweetheart is the sweetest because he waited patiently for me for 6 years! We met at church about 7 years ago & he was secretly attracted to me the whole time. We became very good friends & served on the youth committee together. Our best friends & other church people tried constantly to match-make us, but I would not hear of it. He was by my side the entire time that I went through failed relationship after failed relationship, trying to find God's will, (not realizing the entire time that it was right under my nose!) Finally after about 6 years, God finally opened my eyes to the wonderful, God-fearing man that he was. We started dating & within a week he asked me to marry him. March the 1st will be a year that we have been married & I cannot IMAGINE being happier! I love him so much & thank God everyday that he waited so patiently for me! - Cyndi Beaird

Is Debbie Harkness the Sweetest Heart of all?

My wife Debbie has been through so much that she deserves more than I can possibly give. She is the strongest person I know and has a love for God that I know very few have. Last year in January she had her appendix taken out only to find out she would have to have two more surgeries. She was diagnosed with Crohn's disease and was in the hospital for nearly 6 months. During it all she was dealing with the recent death of her father who was a local pastor in East Texas. She always kept her prayer life strong and really carried me through those times with prayer. We have a 2 year old daughter who loves her mommy so much and has just learned her first song with her mother, "Jesus Loves me, this I know." With all that we've been though this past year and spending Valentines Day in the hospital last year, I want this year to be really special. I know my wife could really use some time away from the busy hustle and bustle of life and this contest would provide just that. - Thomas Harkness

Is Kirby Bozeman the Sweetest Heart of all?

My husband, Kirby, exemplifies a "tough but tender" man. The stress of my work was creating physical side-effects. He looked over at me one night, put his magazine down, and began to stroke my hair. He recognized that I wasn't feeling well, scooped me up and held me. - Karen Bozeman

Is Christi Courade the Sweetest Heart of all?

My wife is the most amazing woman on Earth! She has been both my earthly guardian angel in many circumstances as well as my partner and counsellor. When we first met, I had been going through tough times that led me in different ways in life. She was always there to help me through whatever I was going through. Now that my life is right with God, and I have dedicated my life to walking in the ways of Christ, I see that God had placed Christi in my life at an opportune time to show me the way out of many possible dark paths that I would have otherwise taken in life. I give thanks to God for my wife for everything that we have accomplished through Him and all that we are going to do in His kingdom for the glory of His name. Thank you Jesus for Christi Courade! - Daniel Courade

She is my sweetheart, my friend, my helper, and most of all God's number one choice for me. Designed by His specific love and workmanship just like He formed Eve for Adam.

Is George Smith the Sweetest Heart of all?

My husband, George, is a "sweetheart" in every sense of the word. I am in full-time ministry which usually means not much money, he never complains. In fact, he always supports me in whatever I do. When I have people visiting, he always makes them feel at home and helps in whatever way he can. He loves God with all his heart even though, at times, it is hard for him to show it outwardly. But "by their fruits they will be known." He is a kind, generous, and caring husband and friend. I am so blessed to have him in my life. - Judy Smith

He sees a child and he just shines and wants me to look at how cute they are. He always has to speak to them and make them smile. He had a hard life, a rough life and he has come so very far. God is really softening a hard man and making him a better person. I thank God for him everyday and am excited about what God has instore for our future together. I don't always show him how much I appreciate him and winning this contest would really show him what he means to me. God bless you all! - Diann Carrington

Is Robert Edwards the sweetest heart of all?

I was working for Coca-Cola and he was working for Dr Pepper and we had much of the same route together. We firmly believe that us meeting was God's plan for us. Our wedding song was "When God Made You," and when he made Robert, he truly was thinking about me. We have a 9 year old son, who Robert adopted after our first year of marriage. That alone makes him an amazing man. We later had a little girl who was truly a blessing to all three of us. Robert is the most understanding and patient man I have ever met. He finds good in every situation no matter how bad it is. Robert Edwards and I have been married for 4 years and he is my Rock. He is an amazing father to his children. Never a day goes by he doesn't say to all of us that he loves us and that he thanks God for us. I am just not sure if he realizes we thank God for him, too, each and every day. God Bless! - Misty Edwards

Is Brian Kennedy the Sweetest Heart of all?

Brian and I have been married almost 4 years. we have one daughter and one more on the way.

He works hard and makes sure all his girls have what we need. What a blessing it is to have a man like him. - Mari-Carmen Kennedy
