It’s her birthday today! Make sure you all wish her an absolutely aaaahmazing day! I know that my mother is so grateful for all of you, and that our whole family has been blessed by you all. Give her lots of love, sweet blogging friends!
I’m so excited to celebrate her birthday, not ONLY because she’s pretty much the most incredible, amazing, and down-right AWESOME person that I know. But because I love her. A lot. I am so blessed by my mom. She is…
Smart
Silly
and not afraid
to be
Loving
always
an encourager
and a picker-up-er
in the tough times
and in the good ones
a friend
and a mentor
and a mom
a beautiful woman
inside
and definitely out
(MOM, don’t you dare protest!) 😉
COMPLETELY in love with
Jesus
and filled with faith
for Him
A mother of seven
crazy kids
and she deals with the
chaos
very well
a newly gluten-free chef
who makes some amazing
lemon bars
someone who loves to
play the piano
and is very good at it
an incredible cook
who keeps the house clean
the laundry going
and all of us kiddos
clothed, educated, fed,
and loved
someone who does
what she has to do
and doesn’t complain
a fighter
for her family
a lover of
scrabble and
catan
an incredible writer
who pens (er, types)
breathtaking
words
my dear, amazing,
completely wonderful,
sweet mother
who I am so grateful for.
Happy Birthday, Momma.
I love you. ♥

Happy Birthday!
AND I LOVE SETTLERS OF CATAN. Haven’t played it in years, as I have no one to play it with. Maybe one day we will meet, and play. *wink*
I’M a VERY new reader in the UK of your blog Rachel but do wish you a VERY happy birthday.
Who could ever dream of a better and more genuine tribute from a daughter. She must be just as caring and amazing as you to write such words.
Have been praying for you and the family and particularly little Sam.
This post says a lot about the person you must be-out of the mouths of babes (or our children) comes what is what and who we truly are I think.
They are a reflection of both our good and bad because that is what they see and learn. Hannah is an incredible girl-and so much her mom be.
Hoping you have some relief today from all the stress you have been under.
Praying your birthday is filled with blessings from your family and friends.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Hugs

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RACHEL! What a special daughter you have, too! Still happy that you got to party today…in-between doing things for Samuel.
Life in this world can look so bleak at times. But the victory is ours through Christ! Put your trust in Him! Praying!
1 Corinthians 15:54-57 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
