Happy Birthday!
Posted by Kristen on Jan 25, 2009 in Family Fun, Holiday | 8 commentsToday is Kristen’s 27th birthday. In general, not all that significant of one. But very significant for me.
Since we got married over 3 years ago, we have not celebrated one of her birthdays together on her actual birth day. For our first one together, she was in Houston. For the second, we were in DC and I had to go away for a few days of training. For hers last year, she was in Houston again.
But this year, we’re celebrating it together. And Jackson and I are thankful.
Kristen is an amazing wife and mother and deserves a lot more showering of fancy food and gifts than she actually gets.
I think of Proverbs 31. Here are a only a few verses that exemplify Kristen:
-She gets up while it is still dark; she provides food for her family
-She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy
-She is clothed with strength and dignity; she can laugh at the days to come
-She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness
Jack and I are blessed to have such a wonderful woman in our lives. She truly is worth “far more than rubies” (or “emeralds” here in Colombia).
