A Very Special Person



We celebrated Sharon's birthday this past Wednesday with dinner at the Texas Roadhouse. Josh, Jon and Jason were all able to join us as we honored Sharon and expressed our appreciation to her. Later that evening we gathered in the family room as Sharon opened her gifts and cards.

Sharon is an awesome wife, mother, friend and Christ follower. She inspires and encourages all who know her. Here are a few words that describe some of the things I appreciate the most about Sharon:

Servant ~ Sharon is always thinking about the needs of her family and others, looking for ways that she can come alongside to serve. She cooks, cleans, mends, washes, prays, shares, encourages and gives; thinking about the needs of others above her own.

Heart for God ~ Sharon has a great heart and passion for God. She loves His Word and desires to know Him more deeply every day. Through her example she encourages others to grow deeper in their relationship with God.

Action Orientation ~ Sharon has a bias toward action - she just flat gets things done! The bigger the job and the closer the deadline, the more mobilized she becomes. And as if working on one thing at a time isn't challenging enough, she has a knack for multi-tasking and working on several things at the same time!

Relational ~ Sharon loves her family, her friends and people. She's a thoughtful friend and loyal partner. She loves sitting down with a good friend and a good book over a good cup of coffee!

Open to Change ~ Sharon has always been willing to try something new. She is constantly reading, learning and growing. And come this summer, she along with a few friends plan to hike the Grand Canyon!

Neat and Organized ~ Sharon loves to organize things. She stays on top of the details and schedules of an active family, helping all of us to think ahead. One of her favorite phases is, Do you need this anymore?"

Well, there you have it. Happy Birthday Sharon. You are a very special person!
