Alright, guys, today is HUGE: HUGE because of the impact the person we are celebrating has made.
🎉🎉IT IS RACHEL’S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉
Today is the one day that I (Grace) have permission to hack Rachel’s blog and let you guys know why we are celebrating so big.
Rachel pours her life into those around her.
She serves, she gives, she cooks, she cleans (just today she cleaned the whole house in the time it took me to eat one piece of chocolate pie).
Rachel blows our minds with all she is able to juggle and accomplish in a day. It leaves us all wondering what we would do without her (seriously, please don’t make me think about it)!
You probably know Rachel because she has reached out to you, encouraged you, made you a handmade card, or sent you a box full of chocolate just when you needed it most.
Rachel is an incredible example of redeeming the time. Anyone who knows her can testify that barely a moment of hers is wasted.
As I talk a lot about Rachel, I acknowledge that the Lord is the only reason someone is able to live like she does. Rachel is a testimony of Christ’s ability to redeem and empower a life that would otherwise be lost!
THANK YOU, RACHEL and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! We are so grateful for you!
And all the dessert you make…
and your pizza too.
Luv, Grace (for all the rest)!
“Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end.” Ephesians 3:20-21
I Imagine this comment section could possibly remain blank for most of the day because, starting with me, we all are very likely tongue tied…at a loss to know how to put our appreciation into words:):):)
But!!! my desire to bless you early this morning with loving thankful thoughts is greater than the smallness I feel for lacking the ability to pen a most well deserved birthday blessing…one that truly reflects your goodness in my life!!!
You are loved with a perfect Love and my imperfect love that is literally a magnificent bouquet of affection, gratitude, admiration, trustworthiness and respect! You are a great “arrow in my quiver”! Never believe any less:)
Many blessings and thank you for your years of godly dedication as a daughter, sister and friend:)
Thank you so very much, Mom!!! 🤗🧡🥳 You blessed my day with your comment!!
