Ridgell's Originals

It's Jamie's birthday.  So, as is my custom for all my family...

Here are some reasons I love Jamie.

She loves God with everything she has.  Her passion just feeds into Joe Don's love for God and it makes them a powerful family of faith.

She loves Joe Don.  I am amazed at how in love they are.  Jamie constantly works at making their relationship even stronger.  She has proved to be the perfect wife for him.  He chose well.  God did a great thing when He put them together.

She loves Anna, Andrew, and Austin -- their three kids..  She enjoys being a Mom.  She thrives on it.  It is very much her calling.

She loves the rest of the Ridgells.  She is one of us.  I have no doubt that Jamie would do anything for any of us.  And do it happily.  She is a true sister to Julie and a great aunt to Avery and Jake.

She loves her church family.  They are super involved with small group, class, and living in community at their church.

She loves people who do not yet know Jesus.  There are people in their neighborhood who are Christians today because Jamie made friends, asked them to church, and lived Jesus in front of them.

She loves those who are in need.  Jamie feels a strong call to help people and they do something about it.

I guess you can see the common theme:  Jamie loves.

And I love her.

Happy birthday daughter.

Thanks God for letting her be part of our family.
