Happy Birthday Nannie

 Dearest Nannie,

we are loving you, missing you, and praying for you.

We hope your day was sooooo special.

Thanks for being such a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, 

and friend to so many.....

:: your family in the west AND your covenant family in the south ::

You are an AMAZING lady ~ such a wonderful role model for us all,

and we are praising the Lord for your life today!!

"Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, 

not slanderers or slaves to much wine.

They are to teach what is good, and so train the 

young women to love their husbands and children,

to be self-controlled, pure, working at home,

kind, and submissive to their own husbands, 

that the word of God may not be reviled."

Titus 2:3-5

Thank you for daily living out these commands.

:: For serving your church body so tirelessly.

:: For having endless meetings in your home.

:: For regularly babysitting and loving on children who aren't your grandchildren....

because you understand covenental living.

:: For weekly helping with CEF clubs,

and for your hours spent serving on the CEF board.

:: For your endless hospitality and southern meals,

:: For your hours spent in the nursery,

and teaching children's church.

 :: For mentoring the younger women.....

and being the "surrogate mom" that they need.

:: For leading Bible studies and teaching women their roll as life-givers.

:: For loving your husband, helping him, and submitting to him.

:: For caring for your elderly parents so faithfully.

:: For mentoring your grandchildren from across the miles.
