My mother

One of the strongest, most determined women I know. And funny. My mother. 

A devoted follower of Christ. And gifted teacher. Mom and grandmother (Nani).

Countless are the ways her life impacts mine. And every time I try to put it down on paper, I fall short of words. 

But we’re celebrating her 90th birthday this week.

So, here goes. Some personal thoughts and memories. 

O give thanks to the Lord, Mom. Great things He has done!

My mother. 2021.

Star bright

Star light. Star bright. 

Catching the eyes of those who study night skies. 

Radiance. Set apart. Outshining all the others.

Something unusual is going on. Beyond normal star patterns. And they mark the time of its appearing.

I look up in the early dark of winter sky. And think about those wise men long ago.

God with us

The mystery of God’s plan. Pictured in a carefully designed tabernacle.

Elaborate tent. Moving from place to place.

God dwelling among His people.
