I said a couple of months ago that I was going to post about 5 things I've learned from each family member on their birthday. I've missed at least one birthday already, and I will try to make that up in some way.
But TODAY! TODAY is A's Day!
So here are five things I've learned from this lady that I love dearly. She has been such a gift to all of us, but most especially to S. And A has been a most vital part in the gift that Lady L is to us.
5 - God is our ever present help in times of trouble. Psalm 46:1. A knows this from experience, and seems almost unflappable at times because she has learned it so well.
4 - Everyone has worth. A never forgets this. And lives it. And not just for a living.
3 - A taught me that while grandsons are WONDERFUL, granddaughters are also WAY SPECIAL. We got to watch Lady L a few weekends ago and had the best time with her - even if I did dress her wrong on the last day...sigh...Mimi still has much to learn!
2 - God makes beautiful things out of the dust...out of us...
1 - How to give good gifts. A "wins" Christmas most every year for giving the best relational gifts. And she is teaching S and all of the rest of us about giving. I doubt that I will ever learn half of what this lady knows about giving.
Happy! Happy! Love you Mrs. A!
