Today we celebrate this very special lady’s birthday.

In case you don’t know, I’m the extremely handsome 3 year old in this picture.

My mommy has consistently been a model of love, encouragement, purity, grace and so much more. I’m blessed and I know it. So, today, I just want to say thank you mom. Among so many other things, thank you for teaching me about Jesus from the moment I was born.

Hope your Birthday is a great one (even though you stopped counting several years ago).

Here’s a great verse that my mom held tightly to when I hit the teen years!

“Parents shall not be put to death for their children, …Each person shall be put to death for his own sin.” (Deuteronomy 24:16 MSG)
