“Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.” James 1:17
It is so very true that every good thing is from the Lord—in my life He has used a consistent pattern. The gifts usually come through my mom. I can look around my house or my kids or what I am wearing, even what I am eating and some portion of that has been given to me by her. She delights in giving gifts and not only gifts, but REALLY GOOD gifts. It brings her joy to see us find a really great thing that we can use and use or just plain enjoy. She adds her touch and sparkle to all of our lives. My mom is not only a giver, she is an abundant giver. She gives selflessly of her time, energy and resources. I have never seen anybody on this earth do that as well as she does. And because there is no way I could ever repay her, I hope simply to be like her. I love my mom :)
Betsy has a doctorate in giving. She not only gives, she gives like it's an art form. She gives creatively and sweetly and gracefully and with this fun twinkle in her eye like she's just tickled by it all. I would be your friend anyway even if there was no Betsy, but she has made so many things triple-chocolate fun for us so many times! Do I love you more because Betsy is your mom? How could I not?!! xo
