Happy Birthday, Mom!













"Her children rise up and call her blessed, and her husband also, and he praises her: 'Many daughters have done well, but you excel them all.'" Proverbs 31:28-29

Mom,
With deep love and appreciation I celebrate and honor you today. Through the years you have offered our family a model of servant hood, wise stewardship, consistent discipline, a joyful spirit, an excitement for adventure, and you attentively watched over each of us. All motivated out of your unconditional love for us.

Many women, wives, and mothers have gone before you. Many great and worthy women...but as this scripture reads, you have excelled them all! You have outdone them all! You have transcended them all!

For all the love and appreciation my heart holds for you, I know that our Heavenly Father burst with love for and over you.

When I say (with all my heart), "you have excelled them all, mom."
He says (with all of His), "You are beautiful, my darling, beautiful in every way." (Song of Songs 4:7)

Happy Birthday Mom! We love you!!!
