HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAW MAW!

"She opens her mouth with wisdom and on her tongue is the law of kindness. Her children rise up and call her blessed." Proverbs 31:26,28
Lily has an amazing Maw Maw and today we are celebrating her life and what a blessing she is to us all!! When I was praying this morning and thanking the Lord for HER the verses above came to my mind. It describes her perfectly. She truly is full of wisdom and kindness and we give God the credit and the glory for that! These attributes that He has gifted her with are a huge encouragement and strength to our family. I'm so thankful that Lily is able to spend time with her often because my prayer is that she will grow up and be like her Maw Maw. :) (kind, loving, compassionate, generous, humble, thoughtful, full of gratitude and hope) We love you and hope you have an extra special day!
I must be God's favorite to have been given the BEST mother in law on earth!! Here are a few of her favorite things:
spending time with her family!
her boys - Jeff and Joe (sons) and Jared (grandson)
her girls - me, Lily and Coley (granddaughters) and Tammy (daughter in law)
her "special friend", Tony (Lily's "Papa")
this was probably one of her favorite moments in her life
holding Lily for the first time
and she's happiest when she's with Lily :)
You'll see that all the pictures of Maw Maw and Lily -
she's never looking at the camera! She's too busy
adoring her little Lily bud :)
And Lily adores her right back!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAW MAW!!
