Mom shows others that she loves them by serving them. She bakes or cleans or shops or serves in a zillion different ways. You can bet if it is someone's birthday she has cooked a feast! Or if someone has a special event, she has helped you shop for just the right outfit. Or if you need help with homework or if you aren't feeling well... she's the one my sisters and I call. She's always there. (And for the record, Dad is just the same! Need a car repaired or a sump pump fixed or do you have a gardening question? Call him!) I know that her desire is to serve others just as Christ Jesus came to serve those around him. She is truly a picture of the love of Christ to me.
Some people know that Mom loves to read. But not everyone knows that she is actually a very talented writer as well. Her letters are the best. I still have the ones she wrote to me in college. When my oldest daughter Victoria was away in Louisville last summer she would eagerly wait for a letter from her grandmother... then she would read them aloud to her roommates. They were stories of daily life and of family and of the faithfulness of God. I know Victoria will cherish those forever.

Thanks Mom!
