On Tuesday, May 3, 2011, Mom celebrated her 85th birthday! Ollie, Danny, Jean and I went to Marble Falls and took her and Dad out to dinner! Glenda was very disappointed that she couldn't join us, but she was incredibly busy at work and could not get away. Mom chose for us all to go to the new Chinese food restaurant in town called Koy. It was excellent and I highly recommend it! Our great server brought Mom a piece of cheesecake with a candle on it and we all sand "Happy Birthday" to her, including Dad! Mom said he had already sung to her that morning, with her coaching him! It's amazing, but he can sing the words better than speaking them! It's because he uses a different part of his brain for that! It's not perfect by any means, but you can tell what he's singing! He can do it if someone else sings it with him! It's very special to be the one being sung to!!!Mom was delighted to have some of us there! She kept saying over and over that she just couldn't believe that she was 85 years old! I just pray I'm in her great shape when I'm 85!!! As I have said before many times, she is an amazing Godly woman! Here's what Proverbs has to say about a good woman like our Mom...
- A good woman is proud. She respects herself and others. She is aware of who she is. She neither seeks definition from the person she is with, nor does she expect them to read her mind. She is quite capable of articulating her needs.
- A good woman is hopeful. She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true. She knows love, therefore she gives love. She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated. If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears.
- A good woman has a dash of inspiration and a dabble of endurance. She knows that she will at times have to inspire others to reach the potential God gave them.
- A good woman knows her past, understands her present and forces toward the future.
- A good woman knows God. She knows that with God the world is her playground, but without God she will just be played with.
- A good woman does not live in fear of the future because of her past. Instead, she understands that her life experiences are merely lessons meant to bring her closer to self-knowledge and unconditional self-love.
