Can it be true that our dear sister, Beth, is ten years old already...?
My, my, how time does
fly! It still feels like yesterday I
answered the phone as a seven year old to receive the wonderful news that Nancy
and I were the proud big sisters of sweet Beth...
I remember holding this tiny bundle in my arms for the very first
time...not being able to pronounce her name properly (I lost my front tooth and
could only say a simple ‘Bef’ for quite some time)...giggling at the funny
noises she made as a wee baby...delightedly feeding her the first few spoonfuls
of ‘real food’...splashing in the pool with her as a toddler during the hot
summer months...watching her grow and change...making a caterpillar for her
first birthday cake...painting a huge cardboard box as a house as part of her
second birthday present...
There is so much to look back on and I thought a post of photographs
taken over the last decade would be ideal for remembering...
~ To my
not-so-little-anymore sister, Beth – a very happy birthday to you... I pray our Lord and King will continue to
lead and guide you as you strive to walk in His ways. And know that you are loved and treasured by
your family and by Jesus! This post is especially
for you...
