My Mom is turning 91
So my Mom, Juanita Ridgell, is turning 91 this Saturday.So here are just a few of the reasons I love her and am really proud of her.
She doesn't know she is old. Her attitude and outlook are still young. Exercises. Plays games every night. Reads. Keeps up with what is going on in the world.
She is not afraid of the future. Not worried about health. Not worried about what may -- or may not -- happen in the world.
Still loves God more than anything. Goes to worship and Bible class every Sunday. Participates in a couple of Bible studies.
Wants to reach others for Jesus. Invites, talks, and shares her faith.
Loves her family. She has an incredible legacy of strong women in our family, including those that married into our family. Smart women. Strong women. Spiritual women. Overcomers. Powerful.
Loves others. Serves people constantly. Helps. Meets everyone that moves into her independant living facility.
Role models and heroes are rare in our world.
So thanks to my Mom for being both of these for our family and countless others
Happy birthday.
