Jamie Ridgell is about to have a Birthday
So our daughter-in-law, Jamie Ridgell, is about to have a birthday. So as is my custom, here are just a few of the many reasons I love Jamie and am proud of her.
Lots of people call their DIL's "daughter-in-love. Cute. But we just call Jamie our daughter. I talk about my girls and I tell people we have two daughters. We feel that way because she treats us just like her parents.
Jamie is a helper. She helps out at meals. Runs errands. Always welcomes us to come see them. Always.
Jamie always seems so calm. She cannot be as calm and laid-back as she seems. But she really does just take things in stride.
Her job is ministry. As a nurse, she works at a pregnancy center part-time. Helps a lot of women make better decisions about their baby. She is compassionate, non-judgmental, and gentle.
Jamie is a prayer. Prays for her people. All of us. Prays for her clients. Prays for her friends.
She loves our son Joe Don. She loves our grandkids.
She desperately seeks to live out her faith. There are people in the Kingdom because of her. There are people that stay in the Kingdom because of her.
When we introduce ourselves to people that know Jamie they immediately tell us how great she is, how much they love her, and how she has blessed their lives. Every time.
I think she is a great role model for younger wives and mothers. And for her daughter Anna and her friends.
So God we are thankful for our Jamie. Continue to bless her and to use her to do amazing things in the Kingdom.
