My mother-in-law is an amazing woman- a few weekends ago we were blessed to see her be baptized and hear how Christ saved her as she shared her testimony to her church in Hickman CA. It was awesome to see her proclaim publicly what we know to be true privately as she lives out her life day in and day out aiming to honor Him in all she does. Here are just a few of the character traits we LOVE about her and it is all the work of Christ in her!
She is the most humble person you will meet. She asks a million questions about what's going on with you and makes you feel as if you are the most important person- true humility.
She is an avid learner of God's truth and God's creation. She downloads sermons, reads books, and sings songs that will further her knowledge of God. She also loves beauty and art and has an amazing eye for creating a wonderful atmosphere.
She is selfless. She gives of herself constantly to her kids, grand kids, husband, aunts, uncles- you name it!
She is joyful- despite the challenges she has (as we all have in one way or another) she truly trusts in God's sovereign care of her and that causes joy in the midst of a trial.
And the character trait that is an example to me and blesses me the most is her gentleness. She never imposes her ideas or thoughts unless asked what her opinion is. When criticized she has learned to respond in love and in each situation that she is in she acts as peacemaker and not the provoker.
Thank you for your example to us of Christ-likeness and we LOVE you!
