Bobby Gilbreth had a birthday
Sunday was our son-in-law, Bobby Gilbreth's birthday. Here are some things I love and appreciate about Bobby.
He married Julie and they gave us Jake and Avery. Love those Grands and so thankful they are part of our family.
He loves baseball. That's good because so does Julie and all our family. He is serving this year as President of Wylie Little League and he is coaching Jake's team.
I have seen him work hard at being fair and honest. His work and efforts have made money for that League. He takes pride not just in how good they are but in how things operate and how they look. He was instrumental in bringing one of the major state tournaments to Wylie this year.
And two things I appreciate about his coaching. Every year his teams have a Bible verse inscribed on their caps. And they pray before every game. That is the only time some of those boys get to pray.
I am proud of him when Julie is sick and he brings Jake and Avery to church. And proud when he and Julie taught Bible class with Mimi.
But I have to tell you my favorite memory from Bobby's birthday Sunday. I looked down our row at church and saw him taking Communion with Grandpa, Marsha's 87 year old Dad. I will remember that for a long time..
So God, bless Bobby. Thanks for the incredible gifts you gave him in Julie, Jake, and Avery. Bless him as a Dad and a husband. Thanks for good times at the ballpark. And help our whole family grow to be more like you.
