for estelle

Today is Estelle's birthday. Estelle is Bubba's sister and my sister in law.

I won't say how old she is because that doesn't really matter.

What matters is for her to know that we love and appreciate her.

Sometimes in all of the hustle and bustle of everything we forget to say those kinds of things.

Thank you estelle:

for never forgeting an important date in our lives
for keeping up with everybody
for loving us in spite of ourselves
for what you do for others
for loving our babies
for kind words of encouragement
for overlooking our many faults
for your servant's heart

This is one of my favorite verses and when I read it I think of you.......

"And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifice God is pleased."
Hebrews 13:16

We will celebrate at Longhorn tonight and then on to the Patterson home for dessert.

God bless you dear one as you start on your next year....
