Happy Birthday Jan. This passed year, I have seen you grow in the area of serving your family. You are gifted in compassion and serving and have always excelled in that area, but this passed year you have grown in specifically serving your family with excellence. You have made the apartment a home and are helping Matt to get the house ready. Phone calls, meeting subcontractors, you are the woman. Ephesians 5:15 "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise,
making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. " This is you Jan! You are becoming a wise woman, busying yourself with the affairs of the home and loving your family! To speak your language..."you go girl...word..." I would also be remiss, if I did not mention your recent acquisition of the "gift of meat" ( nowhere found in scripture, but inspired from the holy spirit none the less). Given 1/2 a day and any slab of meat, you perform miracles.... again..."you go girl....word".
Kaleb and Sophie worked themselves into a frenzy constructing your card ( as shown above-note: marker on face and hands) Kaleb's favorite letter is the "jumpin J" so he was simply enthralled to work on your card. Get ready it is a veritable masterpiece, suitable for framing...refrigerator ready.... Happy birthday :)
