Yesterday we had a surprise party for my mother-in-law, Marie's 80th birthday! A fun time was had by all! It brought her to tears. This is an amazing woman who raised 9 children whose names all start with the letter "L' (not to mention two sets of twins, one being my husband)! I wish I could tell you all of her good qualities.
Let me just tell you the verse that comes to mind when I think of her...
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. (John 15:13).
I should say, she lays down her life for her family. She's so generous and has made many sacrifices for them. Her priorities are in the right order!
And... if you know me, there is always a song.
Happy Birthday, Mom!
Love you,
Angie xoxo
