A TRUE EXAMPLE
Today's reading: John 3-4

It's a special day today. My Mom's birthday. Ever met her? What a lady! She's kind, compassionate, loving. She goes over and above to make sure you are comfortable. Quite hospitable. She loves the Lord. She's my example of the verse that jumped off the page at me this morning.

"He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less." John 3:30 NLT

For my Dad, my three sisters, my husband, three brothers-in-law, son, two nephews, a little doll of a niece and myself--she's done just that!

Mom is our biggest fan. Our 24-hour support desk. Our back-stage crew. Our go-to-gal.

She has shown me over the years the meaning of my Savior's love for me by living out the words of John 3:30.

Mom will do, has done and is doing everything in her power to promote us to greatness. She encourages and edifies us in whatever we're attempting. She gives of herself more than anyone I know. Her goal, by how she lives and loves, is making us greater and greater--all the while humbly tickled to be in the background.

Thanks for the example you're showing me, Mom. Happy birthday!
