Today I (Grace) have the honor of writing the Birthday post… because the birthday is RACHEL’S!
I feel like you guys could write this post as well, or better, than I. I know that Rachel has done something special to encourage each one of you reading this today.
- She sends cards through the mail by the hundreds.
- Texts of encouragement by the thousands.
- Spring 100 shirts by the 10’s of thousands.
- Emails.
- 1-1 encouragement.
- Food. (Friday night Pizza is a weekly tradition that no one every gets tired of!!)
Rachel has poured her life into those around her.
She serves, she gives, she cooks, she cleans. She is able to do the work of 10 women in one and it never ceases to amaze us all… and 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.
As her sister I know that she has had her share of difficult days. God’s grace has enabled her to keep looking to Him for the strength to press toward the mark for that high calling in Christ Jesus. She is really holding the line for so many.
More pizza photos… and I am going to leave with a montage of some of her best food… guys: I can’t explain the happiness that her home-cooked meals bring!!! You’ll have to get over here and try some of it for yourself :D.
Great… now I’m hungry….
Happy Birthday, Rachel! We are grateful for you and all you do!
P.S. Do not leave without leaving a comment!!! Wish Rachel a happy birthday!!
