mama

beautiful ~ joyful ~ graceful ~ hopeful ~ peaceful


you are
full of beauty, full of joy, full of grace,
full of hope, full of peace.

you live
and give
these things
more than anyone i've ever known.

you are a picture of grace to me.
you are a picture of humility.
if i am ever even half as patient
and kind as you are,
i will be a better person.

thank you for everything that you do for us.
thank you for your selflessness.
thank you for your love.

happy birthday, mama.
i love you.

{p.s. i also wrote you a birthday tribute.

Dear Georgia, Her noble heart glows on your Mom's gentle face. You certainly are the daughter she deserves.

Thank you. This was very nice. Remember our Jr. choir song...May Christ be seen in me, O Lord, hear Thou my earnest plea; oh, take me, fill me, use me, Lord, till Christ be seen in me.

Now, did you Photoshop that photo? :)
