What do I do for a sister who has always been an example to me? I have learned many important life principles from your example, including patients, humility, hard work, finding joy, forgiveness, and charity. I was with you at the beginning of the year when your family received some hard news. I watched you fall apart and then pick yourself back up and pull it together for your family. I was in awe as you did it with grace and gratitude.
Finding an act of service to do in your honor didnt really come across my mind. I'm sure I could come up with something fitting, but the truth is, I really wanted to make you something instead. More than anything, I wanted to make you something that embodied your faith in the Lord during this difficult year. Although the year is ending well, it started out really scary for you and your family. Yet, you maintained your faith the entire time - it never wavered.
So, I made this cross-stitch for you and each time I worked on it, I would think about how much you have taught me and influenced me for good in my life. I would also think about your kids and how much I love them and want good things for them. I have enjoyed working with so many of your kids and LOVE getting to know them better and (hopefully) strengthening our relationship during work.
