25 Things We All Love About Hannah!
Dad ~
- She loves the Lord Jesus.
- She is a real Sweetie.
- She exemplifies Philippians 2:3-4; she is super alert for opportunities to serve someone else, and she drops what she's doing to do so. We sometimes have to insist that she take care of some need of her own.
- She has a subtle but quick wit. Listen for her quiet and funny remarks. She has a smiling countenance.
- She has a humble, quiet, joyful, and peaceful spirit.
- She is modest. She is placing her trust in the Lord to provide a godly and loving spouse in His time and way.
- She is very thorough and deliberate when she is thinking and deciding.
- She likes to keep her family (especially her Dad) healthy by providing wholesome foods.
- She is very industrious, and she does excellent work.
- I could go on and on, but I'm already hogging a lot of good thoughts!
Mom ~
- She puts her plans aside to help any one of us who needs her for anything: help with meals, haircuts for all the family, proofreader, and great at figuring out computer stuff.
- She strives for perfection in whatever she does.
- She grows wonderful vegetables in the garden and works hard harvesting for the family.
- She desires the Lord and His Word--nothing interferes with her quiet time.
- Her expertise at making smoothies!
Jonathan ~
- She is a GREAT older sister!!
- She encourages me in word and deed and helps me to be a godly young man.
- She greatly desires to be a keeper at home and directs her energies to cultivating applicable skills.
- She makes great bread.
- And she grows lots of vegetables in her garden which I don't have a lot of (but should), so I suppose they are tasty, too. I just can't personally attest to the fact.
Sarah ~
- She is a diligent worker at all her many projects - indoor and outdoor.
- She is great to have late night sisterly talks with! :)
- Her attire is beautiful, feminine, and modest.
- She has an entrepreneurial spirit and has really researched different issues and applied herself to setting up her business.
- She is very encouraging to all her family and wants what's best for them.
- She can sing beautiful harmony!
And here's the menu for tonight's birthday meal:
Each year's choices are always different and always exotic! Since Hannah's not allowed to do any work today, Sarah and I are going to be busy in the kitchen!
And thank you to the commenters who already left early birthday wishes for Hannah! Have a good weekend, everybody - see you back on the blog on Monday!
